So would I.
�Me too � is OK |

Lynne is right. You use the same auxilliary as in the original sentence. As she said, "Me, too" is also correct, as is "I would, too." As a reminder, think of how you would make the sentence negative.
I �d like to go to the theater.
I wouldn �t.
That tells you which auxilliary to use.

If the sentence were:" I wouldn �t like to go to the theater." (negative), would it be correct again to use "Me, too." as an alternative to the reply: "Nor would I.", "Neither would I.", or " I wouldn �t, either."? |

No, "Me, too" is only for responding to positive statements.

Sorry Bruce, Is it then: "Me, either.", "Me, neither."?
Both sound awkward to me. |

"Me, neither", so that there will be a negative in the sentence. That �s why it can �t be "Me, too", because there isn �t a negative element in it.
It is "I wouldn �t, either" (not "neither"), because we avoid double negatives in English.
