Re: What do people wear to see Broadway plays?

I feel like I see such a range whenever we go- some people REALLY dress up, some look like they've just finished cutting the lawn. Chat Icon

I usually wear dress pants, nice shoes (flats if we've been spending the day and walking a lot) and a nice blouse- similar to what I wear to work. DH wears dress pants and a button down shirt (sometimes a tie. sometimes not) and shoes.

You really could wear anything. Some people get dressed up, and others go in jeans or shorts. What are you going to see?

Re: What do people wear to see Broadway plays?

last time i went i went straight from work in work clothes....

unfortunately the theatre is pretty casual now, and i have seen many people in jeans

you could really wear anything now...

but if you wear a dress, that is nice! make it a nice evening out!

We just went to a play, it was during the day and I had on khakis and a nice shirt and sandals, DH wore jeans and a collared shirt with shoes, most people wore that or even less "dressy". At night I think the same anything goes. I just did a paper on that the dress in theater has changed so much.

what are you going to see?

Avenue Q!

I just remember plays as requiring more formal dress- no jeans. i'll look for a casual dress. Any excuse to shop, right? Chat Icon

Avenue Q is pretty laid back and you can totally wear jeans, heels, and a nice shirt...

It's such a great show - have an amazing time!!!

Re: What do people wear to see Broadway plays?

I find that people where whatever to shows these days, there seems to be no dress code. But I agree that I like when people dress up a bit for the theater, I usually do. If it is a Sat night show you can dress up a bit more.

I've worn black jeans and a nice top or pants I would wear to work. it definitely ranges!

I've seen people dress up like they used to and people in jeans and sneakers.

Re: What do people wear to see Broadway plays?

When I see people dressed up for the theatre they are usually from Iowa or somewhere out of town.

I wear whatever I am wearing that day....jeans usually, or maybe nice pants. But I don't dress up...

I agree 100%. I usually wear nice pants and a blouse, or a casual skirt. No jeans, although plenty of people do wear them.

I agree.

Although I think if you over dress for "family circle" type seats then you might feel uncomfortable. I do agree that jeans & such are not appropriate.

I usually wear dress pants, nice shoes (flats if we've been spending the day and walking a lot) and a nice blouse- similar to what I wear to work. DH wears dress pants and a button down shirt (sometimes a tie. sometimes not) and shoes.



Ditto...to all!
