Proper attire for a broadway show

Reservations are at L%26#39;Ecole before going to see Wicked at 8:00. Jacket and tie required? What is the appropriate attire for a guy to go to show?

Thanks for any input.

Wear whatever you like. What%26#39;s most important is that you are clean and quiet during the show.

As for the restaurant, you may want to call or email them to ask about their dress code.

Are you asking whether jacket and tie are required for the theater (they aren%26#39;t) or for the restaurnat (in which case, you need to ask them)?

Even if a jacket and tie aren%26#39;t ';required'; (heaven knows that people wear all sorts of inappropriate, crummy things to the theater and to restaurants these days, and are let in), they are certainly items that a gentleman would wear when taking a lady to dinner in a good restaurant and then to the theater.

Between the theater I volunteer at near home and the ones I%26#39;ve attended in NYC, I%26#39;ve seen it all! This includes shorts and t-shirts (which I must admit I hate to see) and occasionally formal attire. I think smart casual is the most prevalent (i.e. khakis and a button down shirt for men and a nice skirt or slacks with a nice blouse for women). No matter what you wear I don%26#39;t think you%26#39;ll feel out of place. It%26#39;s a special night out so I think the jacket and tie would make it feel even more special if that%26#39;s your preference!

Green: I understand the difference in being slob and being comfortable. What I am getting at is that I have to wear a suit every day (I love my profession, what can I say?) and I was wondering if the same was expected when you go to a show on Broadway.

Jeffys: Thank you. That was the information I was looking for.

If you read my post again, brandonsms, you will see that I answered that question, and answered it very directly: jackets and ties are not ';required'; at theaters; people wear anything and everything. What many people wear, however, and what is ';appropriate'; are two different things, and I answered that part of the question as well.

And you%26#39;re welcome.

Green: Did not mean to offend you.

I agree those are things one might wear when taking a lady out. However, (and the mistake is mine for the poor wording by blending ';required'; with ';appropriate'; in the same post - as the two are very different words), If I can be less formal and do still (';do as Romans';) I would prefer it since I have wear a noose every day.

And I do appreciate your input.

I look forward to seeing your city.
