I'd like to see receipts of those killer legs...

The last thing I want or need to see is a mans gross toes or hairy armpits. Yuck"
Speak for yourself, John. First of all, most performers dress the same way you are deriding when they go to the theatre, so it seems unlikely they share in your antique ideas about dressing or respect. Second, you do not have standing to speak on behalf of fellow auidence, or even audiences. And this is not Europe.
P.S. Anytime the posturing troll After Eight has your back, that should be a warning flag.

Using Patti LuPone as an example is rich irony, as she's never been known for her wardrobe. In fact, she talks at length in her memoir about how she dressed so shabbily during EVITA that she often went unrecognized at the stage door.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Okay this is bullsh!t of the highest order.
Patti LuPone needs to stick to what she does best...how anyone dresses for the theater should not effect her performance in the least and if it does she needs to look into getting into another profession.

You pay for your ticket, you wear what you want.
Anyone who doesn't like it, that's their problem.
Caveat:
Nothing that smells
Nothing that makes noise
....but the world goes 'round

That is not a quote from Patti LuPone about how people dress. It's not a quote from Patti LuPone at all.
LuPone has been outspoken about disruptive audience members- especially cell phone use. But audience attire? I can't find much about her stance on that. Vincentelli is lumping together attire and behavior.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Men don't trim their body hair and clip their toenails in the Ukraine?

FANtomFollies said: "I sort of hate dress codes because they automatically assume you look sloppy or not dressed-up if you are wearing shorts, jeans or a t-shirt, which simply isn't true. If you have good taste and know how to dress, you can still look pulled together.
^ Exactly!! Love that outfit.

One more example - ripped jeans and a t-shirt and still fashionable and appropriate (in my opinion).

I'm glad you added "(in my opinion)."
Ghastly.

Patti LuPone speaks about audience behavior. I have never, ever, heard her address the way people dress.

We go to the theater at least once a week, we wear nice jeans ,a nice shirt and nice clean running shoes (we live in the city, it's a lot of walking). My only bitch is phones going off or people texting while the show is on and loud candy bags / ice in those stupid plastic cups.

They are talking about crocs, flipflops, sweats, Not sure how you can argue with that.
I do not think most people would consider any of the above examples slobs. They are classics as seen here but updated for today:

Petra,
No one is questioning your right to express opinions about how people are dressed. Most of us sit around with our friends and dish on how other people are dressed; that's been going on since the time when cavemen first started donning loin cloths. Someone can look great in flipflops and sweats and someone else can look like a doofus in slacks and a jacket. But you can't legislate how people dress just because it does not align with your idea of what looks nice. What's next? Telling people they can't come to the theatre because you don't like the color of their skin? That's where you're headed.

Standards for dress are lower everywhere. I work for a multinational company with offices in 42 countries and our "standard" for work is jeans and a dress shirt/polo. The problem you run into is is the fact that they're there in the first place...and for all the crying we do about audiences not showing up...unless they stink, I'm in the camp that says "get comfy, sit back and enjoy the show" - and put your f***ing phone away

@HogansHero: I am so on the same page. I was reading Petra's response(s) and thinking to myself: "Whoa! Where is this person headed? Are they seriously "going there"?

" Gentlemen, I think you are having the wrong idea. I am not saying it should be legislated, or a law or anything like that. I just think it is nice for people to get dressed up, not in tuxedo and ballgowns but in nice, clean comfortable neat clothes that. Something you would wear to meet a blind date, or your BF parents in not something that looks like you just rolled out of the bed or from the beach. Nice restaurants and clubs and bars have dress codes, schools and people seem to be able to follow, Europe as well. To me it is nice, and special. and Hogan, come on now with color of skin.
