A show that has interaction and could be on stage would be Best Little whorehouse in Texas. Although might not be the best bet for a school

"Song of Singapore" - entire 1940's Nightclub Band is onstage.
Great staging - wonderful songs - terrific opportunity for the set designer! Musical Book by Alan Katz with Erik Frandsen, Robert Hipkens, Michael Garin and Paula Lockheart. Music and Lyrics by Erik Frandsen, Robert Hipkens, Michael Garin and Paula Lockheart. 8 m., 2 f. With the Off Broadway popularity of this zany recreation of a seedy bar in Singapore, circa 1941, environmental theatre has come of age. When patrons enter, they are transported to those heady days when the band played on while the Japanese invaders approached. The story is a daft parody of old movies that is full of intrigue: fishy stolen jewels, a torch singer whose lost memory holds the key to one of the century's greatest mysteries, a sinister dragon lady, corrupt police, and nonstop funny business. Throughout, the music is hot and the cast never hesitates to reach for a laugh. Whether produced as a hilarious cabaret or a lively piece of audience participation theatre, Song of Singapore is an uproarious hit. "A madcap audience involving frolic."--- N.Y. Times. "The music couldn't be better."---Variety. "Pastiche, parody, and put on---and a good deal of fun."---N.Y. Magazine. "A gorgeous spectacle.... Theatergoers of the world, delight."-- Time Magazine. "Has been attracting packed houses ... and rave reviews from virtually every major critic."-- Chicago Tribune. Terms quoted on application. Music available on rental Standard rental package includes: |

'By Jeeves' has a 3 piece band on stage, it is an improvise Pohmy
{British] farce with music. With BBC style 'Kensington gore'
accents.
Which might not be your teabag, although the sets & props are improvised as well. |

The Who's "Tommy" is another good one to add to this list.

Chicago also is wonderful with a band onstage, but the content might not be appropriate for your needs. |

For a Musical Farce, with a 3 piece band on stage. You could look at 'By Jeeves' [Music by Laird Andy L' Webber & words by Alan Acykbourn] http://www.reallyuseful.com/rug/shows/byjeeves/Nearly all the set pieces are improvised, along with the typical 5 or 6 doors, that seem to be always mandatory in a Farce.
However one may have to brush up, on the 'toffee Nosed Pohmy' accents.
