This seems like a brilliant idea. I think I would definitely enjoy being connected to a show without having to have the spotlight put on me. There's a line at the beginning of the Drowsy Chaperone that talks about the audience's thoughts before a show, and one of them was "Please, oh please don't let the actors come into the audience" or something like that. No one likes to be singled out in front of a crowd like that, so I think this is a really great idea to involve the audience without embarrassing them.
