Dress Code for Broadway

What is the appropriate dress for a Broadway show, are jeans OK



Dress Code for Broadway


Just out of curiosity, what are you seeing?





This is an extremely popular question here. Have you tried searching the forum for ';theater dress code';?





See these posts, sub posts, and sub-sub-posts.

More importantly, when attending the theatre, show up on time, turn off cell phones, don%26#39;t talk during the show, don%26#39;t kick the seat of the person in front of you, and don%26#39;t unwrap noisy wrappers.





';Jeans'; is a buzzword here because ';jeans'; can be anything from work pants to a ';mommy uniform'; to a sack falllin%26#39; off your butt to sleek $700 custom-made beauties.





Sometimes people on this forum will bristle if we believe that visitors are REALLY asking ';how dressed-down can I get away with if I don%26#39;t want to bother thinking about it or don%26#39;t want to pack any extra stuff?'; Queries like this often get interpreted as tests of the limits of under-dressing, rather than questions about fashion or style.





p.s. imho, I don%26#39;t like jeans at a B%26#39;way show, but I%26#39;m in the minority, and many people wear them. If you%26#39;re already paying the big bucks for a show, try leaving your average, daily jeans at home and see how it feels.
