A friend of mine showed me something similar a few months back. A group staged a musical in a mall food court. The performers were disguised as workers and visitors so you didn't know who was going to join the song and dance next.

That was done by
Improv Everywhere, based in NYC. If they weren't the first to do this sort of thing, they're close.
They have everything documented on their website, and a lot of it is hilarious -- a fake rooftop concert by "U2"; surprising the players of a Little League game by providing sportscasters, a jumbotron, and a blimp!; greeting unsuspecting travelers at the airport with welcome home signs, flowers, and balloons; and the time they had about 300 people freeze in place for five minutes... in Grand Central Station. Great fun, and no one gets hurt.
They did ruffle a few feathers with their last stunt, though -- a fake mission pulled as an April Fool's joke on their readers: "Best Funeral Ever." (The comments from everyone getting upset about it make for some very enjoyable reading!)

Looking at the faces and smiles of the onlookers, I would have to say that the world would be a better place with a little more "magic" like this. Harmless, Happy, and Fun.
