Ok to wear shorts to the theater when it’s 94 degrees out? — Page 4

I wear shorts to the theatre all the time when it's hot out. Also a tshirt. I usually will take a hoodie with since most theatres are freezing. I usually have a baseball cap on too. Lately it's been my Jagged Little Pill cap. I don't give 2 craps what people are wearing. As long as you are well behaved(stay off the phone, don't talk or sing along, don't eat candy or rattle ice in cups...etc) and don't stink I'm happy.

At Angels,yesterday; even with shorts I was warm. Not unbearable. But I was so happy to be comfortable. The guy behind me was digging into his m&m's for the first 15 minutes of part 1. Luckily the lady to my right told him to "knock it off or I am shoving the bag down your throat". He stopped. They had words during the first intermission. I couldn't hear what they were . But I thanked her as did someone else. . Wearing shorts is fine.

BTW.. They have signs that they'll sell you water but put it in a cup because it's a quiet play and bottles make noise. Yet they don't mind the noisy candy????



Sorry about typos. Stupid phone.

I would never wear shorts to the theater because I enjoy dressing up a bit for the occasion, and I do enjoy seeing people dress up a bit to see a show, but I can't say it matters that much to me. When it's 90+ degrees out, people have to try to keep as cool as possible.

my personal preference is to dress up, because it just adds to the overall experience for me, but I am certainly not offended by what anyone else chooses to wear. And especially if someone else is hot natured - I'd rather they be comfortable in shorts than have to smell someone sweating near me.

This gave me the best visual.

And if it goes over 94 degrees, most theaters in the Times Square district don't object to this basic black dress wear. Not only sensibly priced but sink washable for week long theater going tourists in those steamy July and August months.

This thread is less than a week old."

It’s a joke that pokes fun at some of the archaic ideas in this thread.

Wear whatever you want. Let ‘em sweat their balls off.

Some think it's all about them and don't give damn about special places. I don't necessarily dress up to the nines but I am respectful of the building that I'm entering and what it represents for ME. But I understand the world in which we live today in which there is little taste and even less class."

Lol

Just be aware of your surroundings especially if you’re at the Anastasia stage door. You may be a target for the stage door groper.

Hands on a Hardbody

Taste and class, perhaps, but also a sense of performance. You apparently think you are part of the performance (which is fine for you).

Myself, I think others are being paid to perform and though I take my job as spectator very seriously, I don't think it matters if I am wearing jeans. I may have a duty to respond, but I'm not on the performance side of the footlights.

When was the last time any movie lead looked so effortlessly gorgeous as Armie Hammer in CALL ME BY YOUR NAME? We're so used to actors who spend hours per day with their personal trainers! Hammer may do so as well, but in that movie he managed to look like a young man from the days when the All-American young man looked generally athletic, but not like he'd spent four hours per day on Nautilus machines.
