I'm going to Her Majesty's Theatre today - What's the dress code?

Ricochet J · 5 Jan 2007 at 13:36

As in, do I need to be a gentleman in black suite, a pipe and a monacle?

Or can I go in with jeans and a jumper and packet of Nic Naks?

You are going to see a play? or actually going to see the queen?

Addidas trackie, Burbary cap, addidas t-shirt with collar pulled up, can of tennents in hand and a brick in the other. Oh and remember the fake set of chains.

Tuck your trousers into your socks.

Ricochet J · 5 Jan 2007 at 13:38

I'm going to watch Phantom of the Opera

Raymond Lin · 5 Jan 2007 at 13:40

Just wear whatever, there is no dress code.

iCraig · 5 Jan 2007 at 13:41

I would go smart. Trousers and shirt, not business wear, but some brown trousers and a nice stylish shirt. With a tie in my bag as backup if I need to smarten up further.

If you're just going to be sat in the darkened audience, I doubt you would need to look any smarter than that.

Forgot about that one, and one hand down your trousers at all times.

Ahh cheers. It's because the theatre sounds fancy and I thought you needed to be a gentleman, ride in a horsecart, and tip the guy who opens the door

There isn't a dress code. Most people will be smart casual, though.

Follow what me and Nix say and you will be fine. (I accept no responsiblity or any comebacks on what happens)

It's not like going to Cineworld, put it that way. Compare it to going to an important meal. Look smart, but not OTT.

A mask and a cape?

Layers.

It'll be cold outside and initially as you sit down. As the theatre fills up and the show starts it will get warmer.
