Walking Out Of Performances at interval.

Walking out of a performance at interval or at any stage is serious bad form. Not only is it disrespectful to the cast, crew and anyone else associated with the show; it is a waste of money. The first act of travesties, for example, is confusing but the second act ties up most of the confusion. There are medical conditions in which case it is perfectly fine to leave at any stage(Unless they are faked), but I have no respect for anyone who leaves a performance because they don't understand it.

I'm on stage crew for travesties and I don't even understand the plot too well. However, I am not as educated as others but I still find it an entertaining play. I have had the theory that it is good that they walk out because it is confusing explained to me x amount of times but I just can't seem to grasp the concept. I think it is that either a) You keep the intelligent people, or b) You supposivly create some form of passion of confusion. None of us (stage crew or cast) are offended by the absence of some of the members of the audience so why should it bother anyone else?
At least the show isn't crap.
