Going to my first broadway musical, what should I wear?

Answer 1

either khakis/black pants, and a button down shirt. You could wear a nice sweater, too. Jeans, t-shirts and sneakers are a big no-no

Answer 2

People don't really dress up for Broadway anymore. I've been to 3 musicals and wore nice pants and a sweater to each (cold weather). Very few men wore suits and I didn't see any ladies at all wearing fancy cocktail-type dresses.

Answer 3

My rule of thumb is that it's always safer to be over-dressed than under-dressed. Besides, Broadway deserves the respect of a well-dressed, well-mannered audience. Play the part and put on your best "steppin' out" outfit and enjoy!

Answer 4

if you are going with a lady she might want to wear something alittle fancier so make sure you match if not i would just wear what is called business formal meaning at the very least dress pants and a tie...most people tend to dress up for the theater and you wouldn't want to feel out of place besides its fun to dress up every once and awhile lol

Answer 5

I just wore regular clothes. Guess it depends on what kind you're going to.

Edit: I wore a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, lol. And no one cared. I think most of the people in the audience wore the same thing. I saw Beauty and the Beast.

Answer 6

Wear something casual but smart and comfortable, because you will be sitting down most of the evening.

Answer 7

Wear what you'd like to be seen in, but won't draw undue attention. If there's one invariable rule for dressing, it's that.

Answer 8

Does it matter? Everyone else is there to watch the show, not you. I'd say be comfy and street-legal and have fun! Anyone says you're not dressed appropriately tell them to get a life.

Answer 9

How about you wear something lovely?

Answer 10

Your tap shoes.
