The Museum Club At The Wick to Present The Immersive Experience DANCING FEET

 

The Museum Club at The Wick taps, swirls, glides into the 2023/2024 season featuring a glorious new immersive exhibition Dancing Feet. The Experience, 42nd Street: Celebrating the Art of Dance. A stunning 360-degree video presentation will showcase numerous razzle dazzle moments of fleet- footed prowess from Broadway's greatest musicals. The video will place emphasis on the multi-Tony Award winning smash hit 42nd Street, featuring commentary from the original star, the legendary Lee Roy Reams. On display throughout the Museum Club will be costumes from both the original 1980 production and the 2000 revival. With three times the costumes and three times the fun, Dancing Feet will have its soft opening on October 24, 2023.  The grand opening luncheon event, featuring a live performance by Reams, will take place Saturday, November 18, 2023 at 1 p.m., with tickets at $175. For this and upcoming luncheon exhibition packages ($93), please call the box office at 561-995-2333.

 

“Dancing Feet. The Experience pays homage to the magic of musical theatre through the lens of the ultimate showbiz musical, 42nd Street,” said Marilynn A. Wick, Executive Managing Producer. “Dancers, choreographers, and the incredible chorus line have always been an integral part of Broadway's allure. Through this immersive experience, we will bring guests on a toe-tapping journey through Times Square and beyond!”

 

The 1980 production of 42nd Street won the Tony Award for Best Musical and Best Choreography. Lee Roy Reams, who starred as Billy Lawlor, shares many anecdotes about the musical in the video presentation, including insights about renowned choreographer Gower Champion and his untimely death on day of the show's Broadway opening. Reams has had an illustrious career in musical theatre, starring in numerous Broadway shows including The Producers and La Cage Aux Folles, and at The Wick, he created a sensation with his role as Dolly Levi in Hello, Dolly!

 

“The Wick is breaking new ground in both entertainment and technology by creating these immersive experiences that both entertain and educate audiences about the history of Broadway,” said Kimberly Wick, curator. “As the owners of the largest Broadway costume collection in the nation, we are thrilled to add this innovation as another way to preserve the incredible artistry of our past for generations to come.”

 

 Last year, The Wick Costume Museum underwent a dramatic high-tech transformation, resulting in a stunning new venue, rechristened The Museum Club at The Wick. The completely renovated space thrilled guests with 360-degree immersive video experiences, historic costume displays, dining, and entertainment.
