Your Own Thing.
Here's another show that I know nothing about....Its says on the back sleeve that it was an Off Broadway Musical...but it seems to have played at the "Comedy Theatre" in London in about 1968 or thereabouts....Its the original New York Cast and there is some fine singers in it....there is not as far as I know any well known songs from it....but I think its a case of "You have to see it " to apreciate it to the full....be great if someone who has seen it could make a comment about it and fill in all the empty spaces !!!!
The rock musical loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, with a book by Donald Driver, music by Hal Hester, and lyrics by Danny Apolinar, was the surprise hit of the off-Broadway season after its opening at the Orpheum in January 1968, where it ran for 937 performances. With a cast that included Leland Palmer, Marian Mercer, and Danny Apolinar, the musical, set in modern-day Illyria (read New York), is about twins (a brother and sister) separated by a storm at sea, mistaken identities, love betrayals, and, in updated parlance, “doing their own thing.”
