Viewer, the first person in auditorium (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eye

'viewer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the first person in auditorium' is the wordplay.
'the first person' becomes 'i' ('I' is a first-person pronoun in grammar).
'in auditorium' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (as the word might sound to an audience).
'i' sounds like 'EYE'.

(Other definitions for eye that I've seen before include "Organ of vision" , "Symmetrical spot" , "Sense organ" , "Location of 11dn" , "Centre of storm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
