wickedPolk & Co., a Broadway PR firm, has picked up four publicists and a handful of marquee clients from the shuttering Hartman Group.

Founder and president Matt Polk said the firm adds long-running "Wicked," and upcoming productions of "Rocky," "If/Then," and "The Velocity of Autumn," as well as off-Broadway's Second Stage Theatre.

Hartman said earlier this month it would close its doors in January. Staffers moving to Polk include 20-plus-year publicists Tom D'Ambrosio and Wayne Wolf, as well as Frances White and Colgan McNeil.

Polk's existing roster includes Birdland Jazz Club, "Cabaret," "Of Mice and Men," "Bronx Bombers," and "Bad Jews," among others.

The additions bring Polk's staff up to nine publicists.
