Warwick Musical Theatre, Musical theatre in Warwick, Rhode Island, United States
The Warwick Musical Theatre stood as a 3,300-seat circular performance venue on Route 2, featuring an open-air design for summer entertainment programs.
Opening in 1955 under Buster Bonoff's direction, the theatre began with touring Broadway shows before transitioning to prominent musical performances in the 1970s.
The theatre incorporated elements from the 1964 New York World's Fair, transforming from a tent structure to a permanent building in 1967.
The venue operated seasonally until 1999, presenting concerts, theatrical productions, and wrestling events before being replaced by a Lowe's store in 2002.
Rhode Island artists Frank Galasso and Duke Marcoccio created commemorative artworks of the theatre, including lithographs and ornamental pieces depicting the structure.
