Here's a totally weird live stage presentation of Nilsson's The Point!
by Baltimore's Annex Theater. Low budget, part puppet and part human,
this rendition of Harry's still beloved creation is strange and not
unlike a backyard Rocky Horror-styled recreation, with makeshift sets
and a live band. It's about 35 minutes in length and recreates the
entire piece, based on the storyline of the 1971 movie.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

The story is a good one and the music is fantastic!

It is a marvel!
