Wishful Drinking Opening Night - Attire Question

I believe opening nights are black-tie.

I love opening nights and miss the seasons where I attended each and every one of them. For me, they're an excuse to get all sorts of dressed up - more than I normally would. Im not saying suit and tie and all that, but a jacket and a nice shirt is totally acceptable. I would stay away from jeans for sure

That sounds perfect.

LOL

That outfit sounds fine :) Enjoy the show!

I just got an email here in my office at Roundabout and here is what it says:

"Appropriate business attire is required – NO JEANS OR SNEAKERS. If you are going to send a friend to the show, PLEASE make sure they are aware of the dress code, too."

"Anyway, I stand by what I said, unless you're at the party, it really doesn't make a difference."

Apparently it does to the theatre, or they wouldn't have sent out the email.

My thinking is this:

There is sure to be press at such an event and the possibility of you being photographed is decent. You might end up in the background of some photo or video footage. I would suggest you not wear anything that would make you look at the photo and say "I can't believe I wore that!"

It's about respect. Even if you're not attending the party.

Frankly, it makes me sad that there are people out there who act like going to the theatre is the same as going to the movies.

Which is the exact reason I don't go to the movies, Namo lol

Aside from seeing Sex and the City in theaters, the only other movie I've seen recently was taking the kids to see Twilight. Let me tell you, if I could have beat everyone in that movie theater I think I may have. One arguing with her boyfriend. Another on his cell, giving a blow by blow of the movie. A group of kids gossiping about something that'd happened earlier that day at school.

If you want to BS, wait for the dvd and talk through that at home lol
