Yes somebody will still own it - depending on your jurisdiction a play or musical remains in copyright for the life of the author + a number of years. In Europe it is life + 70 years. As Jule Styne only died within the last 10 years it must still be in copyright. This applies even if the author sells or assigns the rights to somebody else. The rights are listed as owend by Wonderful Music Corp - but I had heard a little rumour that Barbra Streisand bought them some time ago but I don't know if this is true or not.

The copyright date on something is when it was CREATED or first published, and the copyright lasts for about a hundred years after the author's death, so YES, anything with valid copyright date of 2002 or 1993 are till in effect.
