I remember this story from about 10 years ago. I don't remember what show it was or if it was on Broadway or off, but the production decided to shorten the show and not have intermission because there were so many walk-outs.

I don't know about walk-outs but 13 ditched its intermission in previews.

with all the food and drink selling going on, I'd be surprised if today any show eliminated its intermission.

That show "Glory Days" had an intermission when my friend saw it in previews - he took advantage of it and walked out.
The next week, I went to see it and kept waiting for the intermission to happen so I could walk out too, but intermission never came and we had to sit through the whole thing!
Removing the intermission didn't help the show, which I understand actually opened and closed on the same night.

THE MOTHERF*CKER WITH THE HAT removed its intermission during previews and ended up opening to raves after a rocky start.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

As of now, there are at least 3 musicals on Broadway right now with no intermission (two of them opening this season): Hedwig, Fun Home, and It Shoulda Been You. I would also think intermissions would be on the rise for merch and bar sales (especially since you can now pre-order drinks for intermission at most shows).
