I pretty much just sob through the play/movie/sound track every time. I keep thinking, surely after the millionth listen/viewing that I’ll toughen up, but no. It comforted me when Jonathon Groff said in an interview that he watched it 5 times in a row and sobbed the entire time, each time. Also it sounds like LMM really treats his players well which I also love.
