you set that thong to vibrate and I'm pretty sure you'll be the happiest audience member in attendance!!!

Just remember sudden outbursts(no matter WHAT the reason is) go against the rules of acceptable theatre behavior.

Yeah...I know.... I think I'll just wear my diamond studded thong instead.

P.S. I changed my outfit and bought new shoes. I've been wearing them for two hours in my apartment and they're killing me.

That's why I never wear heels to the theatre. By the end of the day, I'd be so tempted to take them off on the subway....which would be disgusting.

Let's face it folks. The truth is we don't know how to dress anymore. Our manners and basic social courtesies and dress are all connected. A guy who goes to the live theatre in cargo pants and those god-awful flip flops is the same slob that talks during the show, opens a candy wrapper, let's the F-bomb fly and its on and on. I'm a older than most of you, probably, but you'll never know how far we've fallen. I'm old enough to remember holding doors, saying please and thank you to wait staff etc, etc. For me, I like dressing up a bit for the theatre. It's a special thing to see a live performance. It beats the heck out of a film any day. I'm not saying you need a tux, but for god's sake guys, tuck your shirts in, how about an iron on the collar once in a while, press your pants, leave the sandals and flip flops at home or pool side. Sorry for venting. Last note to the dope that saw Wicked on Saturday in Chicago, who sat in the 4th row and didn't have the courtesy to remove his 'straw hat' with his bluetooth still afixed to ear: !@#$#%$%

I feel better. Ladies, for the most part you still have a bit of class. Guys, you have a long way to go.

I think for a lot of us, going to the theatre has become such a routine thing that we've stopped getting really dressed to go.

Now mind you, people who show up in sweats or adidas pants or jeans with big holes and paint on them...that's just unacceptable.

But I tend to dress much more casual than I used to when going to a show would be considered a "special occasion". I would have never thought of going in anything but a skirt or dress pants and it's funny, because when I go with other people I usually get dressed nicer. But if I'm just randomly grabbing a ticket to something, I tend to be in jeans or capris...never sloppy, but not decked out either.

Back in the 70's there used to be a guy who showed up at the theater in a totally transparent suit, I guess made of vinyl (can you imaging how hot that would get) and you could count the change in his pocket. I saw him a few times. Seemed to have a good time and just ignored everyone oggling him.

Oh yeah, boxers.
