Broadway Ticket Purchases
New York City Broadway: Formal or semi-formal dress?
I feel silly asking a question I should probably know the answer to, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
I’m no stranger to theater performances: in the last five years, I’ve seen upwards of 14 operas and 3 ballets. But I live in Houston, and our theater district–while very good–isn’t “world renowned”. I’m vacationing in NYC this summer and I’ve purchased tickets to a broadway.
My problem is that I don’t know how to dress! In the past, I’ve always felt safe wearing semi-formal outfits like a skirt or blouse with some jewelry or fancy shoes. But there are the select few I’ve seen (in Houston) who arrive decked out in gems and designer dresses.
Should I wear a formal dress to this broadway in New York? Or would it be safe to stay with my traditional semi-formal outfits?
I wouldn’t need to buy new clothes for either scenario–I’d just reuse outfits I already own, so money isn’t an object for this.
Thanks for your help!
Girl, go with the nice semi-formal, enjoy the performance, have a great time afterwards, and don’t even let it stress you out. You are fortunate to have the option to choose either/or, so just put together a snazzy semi-form ensemble and take on a “Here I Am Broadway, Are You Ready For Me” attitude. Enjoy the show!
