Dressing down? Theatregoers are beneath it (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reproof

'dressing down?' is the definition.
(both can mean criticism)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for reproof that I've seen before include "work on raincoat?" , "Dressing down" , "Once more get water-resistant" , "Reprimand" , "what mac no longer keeping one dry needs?" .)
