rules to me implies some kind of enforceable guidelines (a code of regulations). yes there are nights when they're invited and yes they tend to be right before opening - which make sense for reasons noted - but there's no "rule" that they have to attend that night. for example, if they're invited for, say, thurs - sat, and for whatever reason they need to (or just opt to) go wednesday they haven't broken a "rule."

covering an opening night preview for the review would be a breach of etiquette and any editor worth his salt would insist on a disclaimer but even that's not a rule. it's stupid and inappropriate and i wouldn't recommend doing it but no one's going to point out which specific rule had been broken.

i think i'm defining "rule" more rigidly which i tend to do because i like precision in language.
