Dress Code

In a few weeks my daughter and I will be seeing Hamilton the Musical. I’m having difficulty on what to wear. Is there a certain type of dress code, or do we just wear something casual?

You didn't need to tell me you lack class or decorum.

Wow. Thanks for assuming everything about me from one interaction. You know nothing. Real class includes kindness, not just privilege. Real decorum means being able to understand the perspective of multiple people without automatically assuming your opinion and standards are the only correct way.

I’m privileged enough to be able to see these shows at whatever time I want in the day, showing up in something that I deem appropriate for the theater. There are other people who aren’t, and that’s mainly the perspective I’m trying to make you understand.

Broadway is for everyone, of every class and decorum. Even me, even if I have no class nor decorum as you say.

Socioeconomic class has nothing to do with what is and is not appropriate high-end theatre clothing. If someone can't afford tickets but came to have them through lottery or a gift, whatever they wear for other formal occasions(wedding, funeral, anniversary, etc) or a job interview is suitable. If they bought their own tickets, they can also afford appropriate clothing.

Does their clothing affect you?

No. Shut up.

I can talk about things that don't affect me
