(endless) frissons
Another option.
"The combination of plotted action, improvisation and unpredictability in a public space created endless frissons for actors and audiences alike, creating a rare bond that will be hard to forget by anyone privileged to see this exceptional work."

Noun 1. frisson - an almost pleasurable sensation of fright; "a frisson of surprise shot through him"
