I never liked "hickeys" even as a teenager.  what was the point?

In response to the comment about leaving a live performance, I would 
say, "Why not?"  It is the obligation of the producers, cast and crew 
of a show to engage the interest of the patron, not the other way 
around.  I wouldn't get up in the middle of a scene out of courtesy to 
my fellow patrons, but leaving during the intermission is a "review 
with one's feet" that is more effective than any amount of verbiage in 
a newspaper theater column.
