Good evening - I am seeking some guidance please. I am taking my partner to London, in a couple of weeks, to see the 'Lion King' at the Lyceum Theatre. Although she knows that we are going to London for an event, she does not know what - it is to be a big surprise! BUT, she is, naturally, asking questions about dress code and I am unsure of how to advise her! Would smart casual be acceptable, as in a dress or jeans with a blouse and ankle boots, or is it more formal attire for something like this? For context, she is 5'8", slim and 58 years of age and our seats are in the Royal Circle.
And for me? Is a suit or collar, tie and waistcoat too 'stuffy'?
Probably overthinking, but any guidance would be gratefully received
