What do I wear to an Off-Broadway show?
One of the most common questions we get at BestOfOffBroadway.com is “What do I wear to a Broadway or Off-Broadway show in NYC”? The quick answer to this question is that there are no specific rules on how to dress for Broadway or Off-Broadway shows in New York. There is no required dress code at any of the theaters in New York, and that rule applies to both plays and musicals, comedies and dramas. You don’t have to worry about a formal dress or a suit and tie before going to a play or musical. That said, the most common type of dress for NYC theatre is “business casual”. At BestOfOffBroadway.com, we recommend that you dress for a Broadway or Off-Broadway show as if you were going out on a date!
