Is it bad theatre etiquette to.... — Page 2

If the question is between dressy and not dressy, this is summertime and I don't see anything wrong with wearing a tshirt. (It depends on how you wear it, of course.) And I wore my (gorgeous) Piazza tshirt when I saw Wicked on Thursday. In fact, no matter what your mother thinks, it didn't even occur to me that it would be considered wrong. Wear it!

Well, here in Greece I wear something trendy and casual when going to the theater ! But when visiting NYC I am all day in the streets and then off to the theater, without returning to change. So I usually wear jeans and either a polo shirt or whatever I wear when living home in the morning, depending on the weather ! But definetely not shorts/flip flops etc.

Screw dressing up. When I am paying $100 dollars for a show (that frankly isn't really worth that much but what are you gonna do if you don't wanna sit in the trashy seats at the back? I will wear what the hell I want. The performers couldn't care less (as for 'respect' do you dress up to go to the post office, dentist or pharmacy?) and the audience (who in most of the shows are trashy, glitter top wearing B+T people) can bite me if they don't like what i am wearing. At least my clothes aren't from outlet stores. Seriously, in Hairspray on Friday, I was overwhelmed by the cheap perfume, cheap diamente and general crassness of the 40 or so Long Islanders I had the misfortune of being seated amongst.
