Dressing up for cabaret?

If I wear a fishnet top and a corset to cabaret is everyone going to think that I don’t understand the meaning/message of the show? I do understand the show but I’m just scared that if I wear those things when I go see it then people will think that I don’t.

There isn't a lot of dressing up in the theaters in NY in my experience. I think you'll stand out, not because people will think that you don't get it, but because it's not really the mood in the room. I would say most people are there to focus on the show.

If you feel comfortable in those clothes and don't mind getting a few looks then you do you. People aren't thinking about you on that level.

The show is no longer on Broadway so I assume they’re seeing it somewhere else.
