Theatre attire

[225]

Not having been to too many of these things, whats the normal dress for going to a show? Off to see phantom of the opera so not exactly an opening night but it is valentines etc.

Any thoughts?

Don't wear your skirt too short, it can be drafty.

Normally, in the early part of the year one is required to wear a diving suit and a mining helmet.

This is before March.

After March, Slovenias national dress is preferred over the diving suit/mining helmet ensemble.

HTH.

The diving suit is SO20thC

Any large hat will do now. Something with ostrich feathers.

And dont forget a large bag of boiled sweets to offer round

In all seriousness, anything you like!

It's not a gala performance at the Royal Opera House!

You may like to go smart casual, but it's up to you.

Will probably be full of tourists with their plastic macs anyway

His and hers Gucci sweats... proper Bo.

I'd take something to muffle the howls of laughter.
Not entirely sure why, but I couldn't help but pmsl watching that show...

Dont listen to this lot, they are pulling your leg.

I'd suggest white gloves, a whistle and a skimpy anti-establishment T-shirt or shirtless (males). Good trainers to mash up the floor with. Sunglasses are optional.

It's the done thing to share Vick vaporub and Amyl Nitrate with fellow theatergoers. Also, it is polite to hug strangers and ask them if they are 'lovin' it' as well.

I knew I could count on you lot

You'll feel less out of place if you do dress smart/semi smart. You don't want to look like an American tourist now do you?

Make sure you wear an "Andrew Lloyd-Webber Is an Alien" T-Shirt.

A mask would be a good start.
