Hey all...

How much gunfire is there in Women on the Verge? When does it happen? I'm hearing conflicting reports.

I only remember it happening once in the second act. It scared the sh*t out of me. May have happened twice, but fairly late in act 2.

For some reason even though I saw LuPone toting the gun around, I was still really scared by the gunshot. That's right, I remember 2 now.

ditto, it scared the sh*t out of me too.

Once patti shoots the gun at the taxi when she is on the motorcycle and once when she is trying to kill Ivan. No more than that i think...

^ That is correct. But you should probably add a spoiler alert.

BroadwayBaby, I don't know where your friend got 5 from.

And *spoiler*, the one on the motorcycle can be seen in the montage, if you're curious about how it looks/when to expect it.

It was actually the thing that made me laugh the most about the show, because this woman right in front of me kept jumping when they shoot the gun. It was quite loud!

This is not very related, but it's not worth starting a new thread.

I saw the show in previews, and after the fire mid-act 1, the theatre smelled horrible for the remainder of the act. Have they done anything about it, or is everyone still holding their breaths for a quarter of the show?

You can definitely smell it, but it's not that unbearable or distracting.
