At almost $200 per ticket to see a Broadway show, they dress like they’re going to a $14 movie. I can’t with this.

And some people are out all day doing things and they aren't staying at a place in Manhattan to just drop home and change.

LOL, you bet your ass if I pay 200$/ticket I'm dressing as comfortably as I want. Or if I pay 10$/ticket in a lottery. I'd rather sit next to people dressed like this who know how to behave during a show than people who unwrap crinkly candy at quiet moments who talk to their companions or fidget. What people wear matter in no way, how they behave matters a lot.

Years ago Oprah did a show on germs in different situations. Was the last time I wore shorts to a movie theatre but in this day and age all seem to dress as how they see fit. I am aging myself but many years ago it was shocking to see someone in sneakers but we are moving forward. :)

I think Frances McDormand at the Tonys set the standard of what's acceptable to wear to the Theatre these days.

When people are "dressed up" they are often sweating and their body odor is often quite disgusting in the theater. Many people "dressed up" are fanning themselves throughout the performance too which is disruptive to the performance.
I'd much rather see someone in a tank top and shorts who is quiet and without body odor since they aren't sweating, than someone dressed up in pants and a dress shirt who stinks of sweat.

Bad comparison as she was still dressed in a long dress just dressed it down with a denim jacket. She wasn’t wearing shorts and a tank top/t-shirt.

I think if you're ever insecure about it, you can dress anything up a little. Like ripped denim shorts might be a little casual (although I wouldn't be angry if I saw you in that), but some nicer khaki shorts or something like that would be totally appropriate.

I don't care what you wear, be comfortable, be you. I like to wear short-shorts in the summer - I've got big legs, they're comfortable - but they're also stylish. They are good quality, and I wear them well, so I don't see what concern it is of anyone else's. Once the lights go out, the actors see about 8% of the audience, so who cares? Be comfortable.

If you don't want to freeze, wear long pants and long sleeves at the Booth. I don't know why, but this theatre is much colder than any other I've ever been in. We saw Hand to God and The Boys in Band there and I was very cold throughout both shows. During the intermission for Hand to God, I actually went to the merch stand and bought a t-shirt just to have something to lay over my arms. Fortunately, I liked the t-shirt and now wear it often.

What's the difference? It's still dressing in a way that is closer to going to see a $14.00 movie ticket than seeing a $200.00 show (I have never paid $200.00 for a single ticket to any show) and people will bitch about it comparison to how people dressed in the "good ole days".

While we are on the subject I'd like to add perfumes and colognes. Hate being subjected to folks who wear too much. Especially that Axe ****.

I always find NYC theatres freezing so I doubt I'd ever do it. It's fine until you get there but then you're in trouble.

Absolutely not. Please show at least a modicum of respect for the actors and fellow audience members. I assure you that they do not want to see your fleshy appendages.

If the actors and the audience are offended by seeing legs bare from the knees down on a person sitting in a dark theatre, then your idea of respect seems...amusing, at best.

I assure you that you have no authority to make such assurances.

People used to dress up to go to breakfast, or the movies, or Disneyland. They don't do that anymore. Loose attire at the theater now is just a sign of the times. And it's fine by me. I don't care what others are wearing either. At night performances though I do tend to dress up a little, but not a tie...or that kind of thing.
As for the dressy pics of guys wearing shorts. Certainly not going to wear shorts to be cool and then wear a freaking suit and tie top. Sort of defeats the purpose.
