The Hadestown gasp and other big theatre feels.

I was telling someone today about having seen Hadestown three times and how the gasp from the audience gives me goosebumps every time and it got me thinking about other times in theatre I’ve felt the whole audience have a collective big feel. Another that come to mind is both times I’ve seen Come From Away, there’s a few big moments that knocks the audience over, like THAT one line in Me and the Sky “the one thing I loved more than anything was used as the bomb.”

Curious to hear other people’s experiences with things like the Hadestown gasp.
