What about Rogers & Hart's _Boys From Syracuse_, an adaptation of _The Comedy
of Errors_. Great score including songs like "This Can't Be Love" and "Falling
In Love With Love."

Does anyone remember an early Sixties musical version of *Twelfth Night*
called, I believe, "YOUR OWN THING"?  It was a real product of the times...I
recall that it toyed with bisexuality in ways that were probably daring at the
time, though pretty tame in retrospect (Ex: Orsino admits to himself that he is
having raging sexual fantasies about "charlie"-cesario; he is more than
relieved to discover that charlie is really a girl...). Set, costume, & hair a
la' Peter Max--flower power, bell bottom pants, big hair...
