I went a few weeks ago, and wore a casual skirt and blouse....I guess it is what some might call "business casual"

It depends on what sort of production you are going to see. People dress up for Opera from evening dresses and suits to smart clothing. Most other productions you can wear whatever you want, some people wear casual jeans while others wear business dress or smart/casual.
There is no dress code as such - just wear what you feel comfortable in and enjoy yourself!

It kind of depends on what kind of theatre and what kind of play you are going to. If it is a play at a high school or something, you can definitely go very casual. If it is a community theatre of some sort you can be casual to business casual. If it is broadway, dress up! have fun

It can depend on the Theatre, most are easy on dress codes. You may wish to make the effort if you have a box or balcony seat, it helps to make it a little more special.

I always like to dress up for the theatre. I wear my fur coat and a lovely skirt or dress with stockings and a nice pair of boots or high heels. These days I've noticed people coming in all sorts of casual wear, even jeans. I guess it's up to you.

It makes it more of a night out if you dress up a little, but really, you're free to wear what you want. (Except a comically large hat.)
All that matters is that you're going to the theatre! The actors won't care what you wear so long as you're quiet and respectful. And unwrap your candy before the lights go down.

it depends on the theatre. If u go to a local play, then a causal wear is the right fashion. At a nice high level one, no sneakers white socks, jeans, mini skirts, or anything with overly flashy jewelry. It may be dark, but u still want to make a statement about yourself

I've been to the theatre and I wore nice pants and a nice top. It's typically not good etiquette to wear jeans.
Basically, dress like you were going for a job interview.

Recent triips to the theatre (both West End and Fringe) has shown me that there is no longer any code whatsoever, and people just wear anything.
This is a great pity as it means that the sense of occasion is very much reduced.

You should dress between business casual and cocktail. Ladies usually wear skirts or dresses. You could wear a dressy pant suit but no jeans, khakis, etc.
