When I saw the 39 Steps I literally jumped out of my seat! And they did it maybe two or three times!

Can we list the current shows that have gunshots...? I hate them and always like to be prepared.

THE 39 STEPS
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
ALL MY SONS
A TALE OF TWO CITIES

and I guess that's it. 9 TO 5 does not have gunshots so I heard.

Ah yes, Phantom too. It woke me out of my slumber.

There are actually a couple of gun shots in 9 to 5 so far.

I remember there was one time I saw Phantom where I moved into the front row at intermission. I was enjoying the view from there and having a good time. That was until the actor who shoots the gun came to his spot in the pit and he was literally right in front of me. I covered my ears extra hard and jumped just because I was right in front of it.

What I find funny is that if I am seeing a show multiple times and I know that there are gunshots in it I still hate it and I still cover my ears. I saw the Les Miserables revival 15 times and I still covered my ears during the gunshots and I still hated it. I would have thought that if I were seeing a show more then once and I knew that it had gunshots in it and I knew when they were going to happen I wouldn't cover my ears and I would be ready for them. However, I am wrong. Even though I know that they are coming I still cover my ears.

does anyone remember what parts to look to in ATOTC for gun shots? i'm possibly seeing it next weekend and I hate gun shots, but Im not letting that stop me from seeing it. I'm glad I didn't let it stop me from seeing Curtains :)

Oh, I hate guns shots too! I always jump! Les mis is torture because of that! And back in the Cabaret days when I saw it loads of times, I would jump EVERY TIME the Emcee would drop the brick!

I haven't seen many shows with gun shots but if I ever sit in a lottery seat I am normally next to a speaker on stage so it's very loud. So every time at In The Heights when the music starts I jump out of my seat. Same happened with Avenue Q, I was actually texting someone and I through my phone. And also when Nicolette was in Rent she liked to scream a lot and it was an awful sound. But during La Vie Boheme she made a baby sound and she would always scream really loud and I would know it was coming but it stlll scared the $hit out of me.

The one in Jersey Boys scared the crap outta me!

Glory, the gunshot in ATOTC is pretty easy to see coming because the actor climbs up the stair that are on either side of the stage (left staircase) with gun in hand, so once you see him heading up - cover your ears. I dont remember there being more than one

So glad I'm not alone in this; I still jump at Phantom even though I know it's coming. I hate gun shots.

How can I prepare myself for AMS? Any advance warning cues to look out for from those of you who have seen it?

Cockeyed:

SPOILER for All My Sons...

End Act 3, following the reading of the letter, when the neighbors stand up and move toward the stage, one of the main four actors exits (you'll know when you see it)...then you need to get ready for the gun shot.
