FIrst of all, YAY!
Second of all... what should I wear? I know it's black tie, and I want to look good, but I don't want to go so crazy that I look like a nominee walking down the carpet.

Posted: 5/23/08 at 9:47amThanks! I really want to find something special... is it possible to go TOO black tie?

Posted: 5/23/08 at 10:15amI've gone, and it's an amazing experience. You can't be overdressed.

A slick black suit works fine (that's what I wear to the Tony's). Not keen on a tuxedo as I always feel like I'm attending a wedding (even most male 'stars' don't even wear tuxedos anymore -- some even wear jeans with a black jacket).
As long as you don't wear hat and tails -- you should be fine.

Posted: 5/23/08 at 11:04amElphie - if you're young, a cocktail dress may be better than a gown. If you are (or look) HS or college age, a gown may look too prom-ish.

"Look" the way YOU want YOU to LOOK.
It's you. Nobody's going to kick you out because of what you decided to wear.
Don't base your decisions on what you think other people are going to think of you.
It's your night. Be YOU and enjoy it.
Who gives a **** what anybody is going to think of what you're wearing?
Have fun!

The theatre community isn't about blending in.
It's about standing out and being your own unique self.

Might I recommend something festive like historical recreation of an elizabethian period gown.
Seriously, just have fun- and wear something fabulous.
