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.
