These references usually have something to do with Florida's reputation for its resorts, or high concentration of condominiums, or alternately, especially in the case of Seinfeld, numerous references to Boca Raton as "God's waiting room". Additionally, in rapper Trick Daddy's smash hit Shut up he says "But all my Boca (Raton) Boys they know dough, that's fo' sho' doe". Boca Raton is almost idiomatically used for indicating retirement, such as in The Nanny in which Fran Drescher is always pushing her parents to move to Boca. Chelsea Handler frequently uses the city in reference to the elderly on her talk show Chelsea Lately. Development of Boca Raton features prominently in the 2008 Stephen Sondheim/John Weidman musical "Road Show" which centers on the lives of Addison Mizner and his brother Wilson Mizner.
Boca Raton has also been the stage and background for many movies filmed on location in Boca Raton, including:
Paper Lion (1968)
Paper Moon (1973)
Caddyshack (1980)
Caddyshack II (1984)
Where the Boys Are '84 (1984)
Stella (1990)
Sex Drive (2008).
