Your Own Thing is a rock-styled musical comedy loosely based on Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare.

The music and lyrics are by Hal Hester and Danny Apolinar [1] with the book adaptation by Donald Driver, who also directed the original production.

Viola lands in Illyria where, being told Sebastian drowned, she expresses her loneliness in the strange city (The Flowers).

Disguised as a guy, Charlie, Viola auditions to become "The Apocalypse’s” fourth member (Somethin's Happenin (Baby!

As the confusion builds, the younger Sebastian acknowledges his growing love for the more mature Olivia (The Middle Years).

The confusion builds (Hunca Munca) resulting in an argument between Sebastian and Olivia, which they eventually settle (Don't Leave Me).

[5][6] Marcia Rodd replaced Marian Mercer as Olivia a week after opening night[3] and appears on the Original Cast Recording.

The cast included Bryan Davies, Lynn Rogers, Bunny Gibson and Lois Ramsay.

Some of the uptempo numbers are pretty good, too....one of Your Own Thing's great charms was its use of then-brand-new slide projections, coupled with voice-overs.

"[1][12] Thomas S. Hischak (professor of theatre at the State University of New York College at Cortland and author) wrote that "As cockeyed as the adaption was, with Shakespeare's Illyria now a gleaming steel Manhattan, the unpretentious show was a delight from start to finish.
