I cannot wait to see this tonight at 7:30! What should one wear, especially if one has never attended a production at Avery Fisher Hall?
I second what PalJoey said, especially since tonight is the Spring Gala, and there may be people who are very dressed up.

A run time of 2:45 makes me optimistic that there won't be too many major cuts. Fingers crossed.
And I agree that dressing up makes it more fun.
