Not sure what to wear when going to the Theater? LA, Miami, New York, Chicago, London can all be different depending on weather, the cities views on fashion and other factors. Los Angeles Theater can be known as usually dressing casual while New York and London dressing to the nines is not uncomon. Here is some ideas for a night out at the Theater.
To look best when going to that opening night, you need to know the best outfit to wear when going to the theatre. Even though the official dress code is not there, you will not be respecting the directors and the actors if you go to the theatre wearing your pajamas. This is time to remove your Sunday best and iron them and you need to learn what to wear when you are going to a theatre.
Here are the things you will need if you want to identify the best outfit:
Outfit for men:
- A white dress shirt
- A suit or sport coat
- Loafers
- Ironed slacks
- Nice Jeans
- Dress shoes
- A nice belt
- A collared shirt
Outfit for women:
- Nice heels
- Pencil skirt
- Cocktail dress, the length should be knee-length and should not be very short
- A blouse or tank top with cardigan
1. Know the type of performance you are attending.
Dressing rules are different and this mainly depends on the time of the day or of the week when the show is being held. The shows that are held over the weekdays and on daylight hours and over the weekends usually require that you dress-down and make sure that your look is polished. The dress for the shows that are held on weekend nights and evenings must be formal and the guest are usually urged to dress this way. The first step in learning what to wear when going to the theatre is to know the type of performance you are attending.
2. Business casual attire is used when you are going to a weekend or weekday performance held during the day.
The affairs here are usually casual; there is no need of wearing a suit and a tie. However, your look should be presentable and the only option that you can go for is the business casual. For guys, you should wear a collared shirt and tuck it into your slacks, make sure they are ironed, and pair them with a good belt and loafers (the belt and loafers should both be either all brown or black). The dressing code for the ladies should be a tank top with a cardigan or a blouse, heels and a pencil skirt.
3. When you are going to a weekend night, weekday evening or opening night performance, the dressing should be business formal.
Night and opening night performances in most theatres are mainly the black-tie affairs and you should dress this way. Men should wear a combination formal pants and sports coat or a dark suit, the shirt should be white and a tie that match. Ladies should dress simply with classy heels and a cocktail dress.
When you know what you will wear when going to a theatre, you will make these outings memorable. When you put on the best clothes and act the way you are expected, your look will always be awesome on every occasion. There is no code of conduct that has been set for the theatres, make sure that you are always tidy, presentable and neat to make people know that you know what to wear when going to the theatre.
We hope you enjoy your night at the Los Angeles Pantages Theater or one of the other fine Theater’s you may be attending. If you are looking for a restaurant near the Pantages theater please feel free to check out our restaurant guide.

HOLLYWOOD – “Chicago,” winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, will return to Los Angeles at the Pantages Theatre for a limited two-week engagement May 15-27
After her critically-acclaimed debut as Roxie Hart on Broadway and in London’s West End, Christie Brinkley, one of the world’s most successful supermodels, will make her Los Angeles debut this spring as she reprises her killer role in the award-winning musical.
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, “Chicago” is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
The performance schedule for “Chicago” is Tuesday through Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

“This was my sons (ages 13, 10 and 9) first Broadway show and they loved it. In fact the entire family loved it. The music was catchy and there were lots of laughs. I thought Brooke Shields did a fine job.”
“Remember that night that it snowed in October right before Halloween? Well that’s the night I saw this show, and, I have to tell you it was worth the 3 hours (normally a 30 minute trip) it took to get into Manhattan to see this show. Brooke Shields was a wonderful Mortica, and, the entire cast was spot on. Ok, sure the girl playing Wednesday had a rather annoying voice, and, the boy playing Pugsley wasn’t as good as he could have been but … read more it didn’t take away from the show.
Remember folks, this isn’t Shakespeare… It’s simply a light hearted play based on the comic strip (not the television show) “The Addams Family“.
I’m just sad it is closing at the end of the year. I have friends coming in from the West coast in the summer (2012) and I know they would have loved this show. Go see it while you still have a chance!”

Memphis is a musical by David Bryan and Joe DiPietro. The concept for Memphis was developed by the late theater producer George W. George.
Memphis musical is inspired by the Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips story also known as Daddy-O. Dewey Phillips is rock ‘n’ roll’s pioneering disk jockeys and one of the first white DJs to play black music in the 1950s.
Phillips has a very interesting personality. He had a keen ear for music, a speed-crazed on air persona with a frantic delivery and entertaining sense of humor.
He was the first DJ to broadcast the young Elvis Presley’s debut record, “That’s All Right/Blue Moon Of Kentucky” (Sun 209), and got Presley to reveal his race in an interview by asking which high school the 19-year-old singer attended.
Memphis is a multi awarded production which was staged during the 2003-04 season at both the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, Massachusetts and Theatre Works in Mountain View, California and opened on Broadway on October 19, 2009.
Memphis also received numerous positive reviews. The Memphis national tour began last October 2011at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee.
Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one 15 minute intermission.
Audience: May be inappropriate for 9 and under. (The show includes a depiction of violence against one of the lead characters.)
You can purchase Memphis Tickets at the Los Angeles Pantages Theater for the July run now. We stock La Cage Aux Folles as well as all other Pantages Theater shows including, Million Dollar Quartet , Book of Mormon and Billy Elliot.

Million Dollar Quartet is a jukebox musical written by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott, and arranged by Chuck Mead. It was at the Florida’s Seaside Music Theatre that the premiere of the musical took place in 2006 and was then staged in Issaquah, Washington at the Village Theatre in September until October of 2007. Million Dollar Quartet was breaking box office records in January of 2008, when it was staged in Everett, Washington. In 2010, the fantastic musical was opened in Broadway after a number of tryouts and regional productions, and produced a 2011 West End production.
The musical play staged the Million Dollar Quartet recording session of December 4, 1956, among early Rock and Roll stars Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins, as well as newcomer Jerry Lee Lewis. Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley assemble at the Sun Record recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee on December 4, 1956. Carl Perkins who was a well-known performer was to record songs with a new performer, Jerry Lee Lewis. Elvis Presley stops by the studio along with his girlfriend named Dyanne (at the real session, Elvis’ girlfriend was a dancer named Marilyn) who was also a singer. Meanwhile, Johnny Cash has visited to talk to recording impresario Sam Philips. They have a jam session together; Philips attempts to sign Johnny Cash to a contract, not aware of already signing elsewhere. He sings a verse of one of his most famous songs, followed by an onstage freeze of all actors, as a member from the Quartet enters for the first time. Sam Philips relates to the audience how he first discovered the boy, and a brief, few line scene of that moment happens between Philips and the musician, followed by Sam Philips asking the boy to play something for him, which is the next verse of the song, and everyone unfreezes.
Among the musical numbers of the Million Dollar Quartet included Blue Suede Shoes, Real Wild Child, Matchbox, Who Do You Love?, Folsom Prison Blues, and Memories Are Made of This by Elvis Presley.

The Addams Family is a fantastic musical comedy for the whole family. Its music and lyrics was made by Andrew Lippa and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The Elephant Eye Theatricals (a Broadway producing organization combining an experienced producing team with the institutional leadership and subscription audiences of fifteen performing arts centers) produced the first production of The Addams Family. The musical premiered on Broadway in April of 2010, after a tryout in Chicago. The original cast featured Nathan Laneas Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia. On the 8th of June, 2010, an original Broadway cast recording was released.
Every year, the gruesome Addams family visits the graveyard to gather all family members; living, dead and undecided, to celebrate their being an Addams family member. Uncle Fester stops the Ancestors’ return to their graves to enlist their help. Uncle Fester explains that Wednesday, under protest, has invited her new normal boyfriend, Lucas Beineke, together with his parents, Mal and Alice to dinner. Wednesday admits that love is pulling her in a new direction, while torturing Pugsley on a rack. On the other hand, Morticia and Gomez worry about her changing ways. Wednesday and Lucas asked their families to act normal as the Beinekes arrive, so that they can all enjoy the dinner. However, things did not turned out as planned, Mal wants to tear down the old house, Alice starts to spout happy poems at random, Pugsley, Fester, and Grandma was not able to act normal, and Wednesday, after wearing black for eighteen years, appears in a bright yellow dress. Lucas and Wednesday then disclose that the reason they brought their families together is to announce that they are getting married. Morticia hears Wednesday call her old and worries that she’s getting crow’s feet. She turns down Gomez’s request to tango, leaving him alone and unsatisfied. Meanwhile, Pugsley is worried that Wednesday’s lovelife means she won’t torture him anymore. He steals a potion from Grandma after she reveals it will bring out someone’s dark nature. Pugsley plans to slip it to Wednesday at dinner.
If you want to experience the hilarity of The Addams Family, the musical is set to run at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles on the 5th of June to the 17th, 2012. The Addams Family is a grisly musical but everyone enjoys the clan as they bring amusement on stage; not to mention the costumes, dark set designs and the characters that bring life to the musical play.
