I think this is a stub. As such, I expect it to be deleted. Not that I'd really want that, but that's how the talk on the mailing list has been going in late Aug. 2002.
I like stubs, though, because I think they stimulate contributors to lengthen them. --Ed Poor

[edit] Oklahoma! songs and copyright, deletion
Copyrights are renewable in the US and Canada, so yes they are still in effect and I agree they should be taken care of as a group. -Jeffrey- 03:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
People have made many Oklahoma! songs into articles, usually with just the lyrics posted. One of these articles is marked as a copyright violation. Are the others covered by copyright? If so, I suggest they be taken care of as a group. -- Kjkolb 06:44, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
- I looked up the age of the music its under 75 years, short by 12 years if I remember, which is the automatic minimum (and i believe music isnt renewable) for anything copywrightable in the united states and it was written here so i suppose even if its out of copyright in other places it has to be here unless they intetionaly put it on public domain which i highly doubt. --Shimonnyman 10:10, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
The US Government Office of Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights, says the copyright is the life of the author(s) plus 50 years. The R&H Estates keep up copyrights for the works of the duo. -Jeffrey- 06:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stage Revival Section
The Stage Revival Section is pretty stubbly. I could not even tell if the one described is the same one that I saw on PBS recently, starring Hugh Jackman. I thought it was a pretty excellent production. I actually came to look at this article because I was trying to remember a character from the production I'm speaking of; I don't know if this character was in the original or not (but it's not in the description of the original production), and I think he probably was not for the following reason: the character is an apparently immigrant or perhaps 2nd generation person of what appears to be Middle-Eastern or Indian descent; and is a love interest for one of the (anglo) women. The guy is a travelling peddler, a guy who sells elixirs and asundry items. He's got a wagon with all kinds of stuff in it including, I think, "perfumed soap" and "silk stockings" etc. etc. Anyway you get the picture, not exactly the kind of love story that would have been on Broadway in the 40's, right? Well, anyway, I think that it's a pretty high-profile production, especially since PBS seems to be showing it in regular rotation during pledge drives, I think a lot of people are likely to become familiar with that version. Ok, I guess that will do it.

The guy you are talking about is Ali Hakim played by Peter Polycarpou . And yes the 1998 film production is easily the best film version out there at the moment.
