Actually, I was raised to dress up going to theatre, and I still do when I have the opportunity. (And I was a child actor, specifically in musical comedies until my teens, when I moved into experimental stuff.) But really, at this point, I am glad that people are just GOING. I don't care if they dress up. If they wear jeans and a clean, decent shirt, I'm cool with that.
Maybe living in NYC has isolated you from this, but in most places, theatre is an art form struggling to survive. I'm just glad people are going. And I don't think it's rude to NOT dress up. The world is more casual than it once was. If people go, enjoy the show, and are respectful, I am glad.
