From my understanding the original ending in the out of towns, Chairty committed suicide in the lake... she never climbed back out. Since it was rather harsh the producers made Fosse and Simon change the ending to something "more fairy tale like" so they wrote the horrid Good Fairy bit as a joke for Ruth Buzzi to drive home the fact that life isn't a fairy tale... but alas the producers LOVED the good fairy and it remained until the movie and subsequent revivals.

And no other rights are released to the show other than the original 66 copyright. So any other endings and the ferris wheel bit are illegal.... unfortunately. (Unless of course you are doing it on Broadway with Christina Applegate)
