What to wear to the theatre?

Me & my hubby are off to see "The Lion King" in London on 23rd April for our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. :D Its been a good good while since we last went to the theatre but have never been to one in London.

What is the dress code? Do you have to get dressed up? It will be at the lyceum theatre london

Many thanks

    It's entirely up to you. You'll find all sorts of dress in a theatre these days from jeans and tee-shirt to full DJ. Just check with the Lyceum first to make sure they aren't imposing a dress code on the night you're attending.

    I was about to post the same, personally I would not go wearing jeans, but some do (particularly tourists).
    Good idea to check though.
    You'll feel comfortable, whatever you wear you'll see someone else with similar style clothes, very casual or evening gear. Have a great time!

    As its a weekday i'd even more say whatever you like,i go to theatre every few weeks in London smart jeans and top,trainers are fine and you will find its what most people are wearing,and either way no one takes any notice,you wont stick out at all! Also remember you sitting still for nearly 3 hours in a horrible chair.
  • Where what you like, it's very mixed, personally I love an excuse to dress up, hope you love the show just as much as I did, it's fab.

    Wear whatever you are comfortable in. Having just been on Tuesday night I would say dont wear anything expensive, those seats are minging.
