well they are encouraging the behavior to keep dressing up and to say that they might as well give it to someone who will keep them....well thats obvious. I don't think a line is crossed at all.
I mean where are we gonna draw the line with dressing up, bc I know alot of my friends who went to see the Wedding Singer dressed up in their best 80's outfits. Does this mean I am nutjob/crazy because I dress up in 80's gear to see an 80's show I don't think this is a bad thing to dress up in costume to a show. That is why they call them WEDHEADS.

dressing a bit 80s is one thing... like a suit for phantom and jeans for rent.. doing a full on costume from the show.. another.
Exactly.

i saw fans in 'costume'.. 80s period legging, sweaters, and hair, and the cast barely realized they were in costume...

Then I feel bad for those fans
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/18/03
why? The point was that they were trying to be fastive, but not a distraction.
I applaud those fans.

Same here. We're trying to be festive and we're not trying to be a distraction. Thank you and goodnight!
Off to the Wedding Singer!!!
My God, why is everyone making such a huge deal out of this? These girls are not trying to scare the cast. They are expressing their love for a show. Get over it, the show is ending soon and they want to show they care. If the cast is scared of that, well they have issues.

you deal crazy fans then see if you think it is wierd.
some people were dropped on their heads as children.

I'm coming in to this a bit late (sorry!) but wanted to comment on the argument that with the age group of the fans and the type of show, formal attire is not necessary for Wedding Singer.
I disagree. No matter what, it's still Broadway and I'm sure serious to those performing 8 times a week. I've rushed Wedding Singer twice (putting me in their target audience, it seems) but I would never dream of dressing up because I think these shows and really any night at the theater should be respected. I don't dress to the nines, but I also don't go in jeans and sneakers. I really think there is a certain decorum for live theater and don't care whether the show is thought-provoking and deep or just light-hearted fun. Everyone associated with the production is working very hard so I think the least we could do is dress appropriately, not be a distraction, enjoy the show and applaud at the correct times, and possibly compliment the cast afterwards at the stage door.
But, that's just me.
Um...does anyone want to post pictures, please?
I've been viewing this topic and my opinion has been swaying back and forth. Bottom line, I say have your fun and dress up. Why stop doing what you are enjoying just to conform with what other people are saying? I think theater itself embraces the different and the unique. As long as you aren't dissrespectful, which I don't think you are, you'll be fine.
LOL....would have loved to see it.
Oy, I still got to get the hang of this : my reply above is to Broadwayguy2.

This thread is friggin' confusing. Just post the damn pictures of the so-called offenders and I'll decide if their outfits should be worn to the theatre or not...duh.

mmm missed something since I skipped 5 pages of this thread. What am I added to?
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/18/03
the list of those put off by those girls.
Oh well it's not even because they dressed up but go for it.
No lies, I would dress up Wedding singer- like..for halloween....even though I havent gone trick-o-treating for 4 years buttt i would.

i thought their costumes where ridiculous. their posts on here and blatant disrespect for other theatre goers and the cast and the feeling that the performance revolves round them only, however, quickly grew to a dislike.
