What shows have audience participation?

Peter Pan has the whole audience to save tinker bell.

Spamalot has one audience member on stage.

I think I have seen at least on other that is not coming to mind.

Anything others?

In Mamma Mia the audience dances. Does that count?

I suppose Rent counts.

Rocky Horror does/did, but it's more of an effect of the movie than a legit idea they had when the musical premiered in the early 70's.

---

No show that allows the throwing of tomatoes? I think that would have ensured many jukebox musicals a long run.

A cool thing would be if the audience could decide how a show ended by pushing mentometer buttons.

Has tinkerbell ever died? Is it enough if one audience member claps or should it be a majority?

Bush Wars has quite a bit of audience interaction/performance.

The Boy From Oz obviously...back in the day...

Pippin the audience sings in Bertha's number

Avenue Q maybe with the money

Spamalot: besides from the audience member participation there's the "follow the bouncing ball" sing along to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Rocky Horror on Broadway immediately comes to mind. It was an absolute gas hearing some of the things that audience members shouted at the actors. The actors always came back with the best responses, too. Ah, I miss that show.

I have an incredible and very racy audience participation story.

I saw a show at this year's NYMF called Virgins:A Musical Threesome. The second act of this three act musical is called Girl on the Screen. It has to do with a reporter writing an article on various porn sites and their hosts. She logs onto her "Laptop" to research the article. Her Laptop is the lap of an audince menber, which she sits on as the other girls in the cast do their routines from the various sites. On the night I saw the show, that lap was mine. I was scared, embaressed, and excited all at the same time. I was just hoping this beautiful woman would not fall off of my lap during the secne. Everything worked out, and it is an experience I will never forget.

The first one that comes to mind for me is Drood, but that has already been mentioned.

In Will Rogers Follies Will talks to the audience throughout the whole show.

I've seen Godspell with part of the audience on stage and they interact with the cast throughout the show.

I've never been, can anyone who has been to Awesome 80s Prom tell me if there's audience participation- it seems like it'd be a show that encourages singing/dancing along maybe?
