I myself just saw the show tonight at the Music Circus! It was very good, even though it was my seventh time seeing/hearing it (I worked their over the Summer), the show never gets old!
I also got to have a nice conversation "backstage" with the guy who played Wilbur (who is so amazing and soooo nice), and he said that they ad-libbed during rehearsals when they did crack up after "You're Timeless to Me" and Wilbur actually did start too soon for the reprise during rehearsals, so they kept it. Of course, they were encouraged to keep it short and clean for the family audiences, and during the show they probably want to crack up anyway, so they do, and that cues the orchestra to stop the music for ad-libs.
Also, and I don't mean to be a stickler, but it is in fact John Waters who made the original movie, not Greg Waters. My sister is a die-hard John Waters fan, so I know this.
Anyway, glad you enjoyed the show!
Peace! Sarah
