For Caruso, Broadway is always an affair worth dressing up for. “If you’re asking me (and you are!), I love being part of an audience that looks respectful and appreciative of the performers, their time, and their craft,” he says. “And if you think the cast can’t see you because of the bright lights, think again. They can see you, and what’s more, they can hear you.” But he will be the first to admit that he is always the most dressed up person in the room. “I’m old school,” he says.
The real answer is dress how you feel. If you are going to see a show for a special occasion why not don those dresses and ties? But if you’ve been running around all day seeing New York City’s great sights, feel free to come as you are, even if that means tennis shoes and jeans.
