A friend and I are having dinner at Sardi's before seeing "Exit The King" on Friday... What is the attire like? Do I need to wear a tie?
When I go I wear a button up and slacks. I don't think a tie is a necessity.
Unfortunately there ain't Nowhere where you have to dress up anymore.
"Whatever happened to Class?"
My moms always said, "If you have to ask about your clothes, you know the answer..." Dress up, it's fun, have a good time! Be the star that you are.

I'm at Sardi's on a fairly regular basis. I've seen EVERY type of getup there, but I think casual (i.e., slacks, shirt and tie optional) is the safest bet. Tie is definitely not required (and forget jackets), but I think it adds a nice touch.
I've been there several times. I am 21 so I usually wear dress pants or jeans with a sweater/sweater vest and nice casual jacket. But you can wear anything really.
I always ask myself, WWPS? (What Would Patti Say?).
Probably she'd say to dress up because "We have forgot-ten hour pub-lic man-ners."
(hehe I'm making a reference to the last weekend of Gypsy in case some folks get confused).
I would dress up. In my opinion, I would say yes with the tie. You will look nicer .

Or you could do what I like to do sometimes and dress according to the show you are seeing.

So for "Exit The King" something regal would do nicely.
...and for "Blithe Spirit" next month, especially as I'm in the front row, I plan on wearing my tuxedo and black bowtie!
