What's the point of going to a play when the script is already printed?
Not all forms of engagement require spontaneous unplanned interaction to be considered interesting or useful by those partaking.

That's a ridiculous analogy. You go to a play to be entertained, because it's a live experience, it'a performance that will always be slightly different and unique from performance to performance depending on any number of variables. In fact a play is great example of why spontaneity is so important.

Really? Name one live event that doesn't presume some level of unplanned interaction? You go to see someone speak - there might be laughter, groans, facial expressions - a feedback loop. You go to see a band - there will be between song banter, audience reaction, requests. It's a kinetic ritual. You go to a book signing and there will be an audience Q AND A with an author.
Please share some examples of which live events that are completely devoid of any unplanned human interaction are interesting?
