Baby boomers will remember a wonderful musical made off the poem shown on TV during the Thanksgiving weekend. It used a lot of Greig music.

In its heyday it was as popular as the Wizard of Oz musical. Wikipedia says that because its copyright expired, no network now reshows it. However it is available on youtube.

Why should copyright expiry decrease popularity? They can still broadcast the show.
