What to wear for a daytime theatre show?

I'm going to see Come Alive in February and not sure what to wear. Do people dress up? The show starts at 2:30 so I'm thinking I should go casual?
Thank you!

Smart casual.

Whatever you want. No-one dresses up to go to the theatre these days. Just wear what you are comfortable in.

It might be quite warm inside the theatre so I would go with layers.

I agree that no-one dresses for the theatre anymore. Wear what you’d normally wear on a day out.

No dress code anymore. Ballet and opera slightly different (depending). But if you dress up and enjoy the vibe no one will sneer. It's a total mish mash of styles.

This is so true especially in the older theatres.

When I've been to the ballet at The Royal Opera House, you see all manner of outfits. Some people do dress up, but most are just casually dressed.
