I don't think a different set of actors can save it. The play is just bad, and I can't relate to it either. It really feels like it has a very narrow target audience. Plus I don't think I could stand another chorus of "Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby baby."

To be fair, I haven't seen a sondheim play I've liked.

Might be worth noticing that you've been couching a lot of opinions in factual statements like "the play is bad", and instead it's worth exploring in more depth what you like/don't like about the musical (it's not a play, btw) and see if it's actually not your cup of tea or if it's perhaps dealing with uncomfortable artistic styles (atonality/percussive lyricism/whatever) or subject matter (infidelity/mid-life unhappiness/closeted homosexuality/disillusionment). Might have made for an interesting post-show discussion over drinks which might have led to a real connection and then maybe even some sex? I'm just spitballing ideas here.

But also yes leaving during intermission is fine, just not in the middle of a performance.
