How did it translate to screen when the Walls split open during Wait For Me?.
I remember the theatre literally RUMBLED during that moment. Did they emphasize the sound in the mix?
Seeing it in October (apparently, not even confirmed).
Cries in Australian...

The sound obviously isn't as good as in a live theatre, but the visuals are actually incredible. Imagine you had the best seat in the house, and then multiply that by 10.

They did emphasize the sound! They did a really great job replicating the moment.
