This works well, but too.
I'm suggesting to place the speakers at the cardioid mic's null point for extra isolation which minimizes the leakage possibility.

The limited low-end and volume of the speakers helps with the spill into the mics. I've done this successfully with choirs up to 350 voices in overdubs to orchestra tracks. Headphones were provided for the chorus director only. NO CLICK TRACK into the speakers of course! You're asking for trouble with 50 sets of cans and probably more leakage than the little speakers would present.
