I think it's great. NYC ballet has been doing stuff like that for years in the New Years Eve performance of Nutcracker. All sorts of things happen: Chairs break, mice appear in windows of the house in the 1st act, blocking gets changed, I remember one year there were 3 princes dancing with the Sugar Plum Fairy at the same time: Peter Martins, Sean Lavery & Baryshnikov. The audience went wild! It used to drive Balanchine nuts though.
