I stayed for both acts (it was pouring outside last night). What was the point of this? Nothing in it was sharp enough to be satire or funny enough to be parody. The concept (story taking place inside someone's elbow- referred to as Elbowville) added nothing but a few silly references to other body parts (like West Boobie). Talented cast had to deal with poor material and a whole lot of undistingished music and lyrics. There were a few dances, but I don't remember why. They never really explain what causes the financial collapse that figures so significantly in the story. Cady Hoffman's outlandish costumes were a highlight. Sound system was awful. Another expensive flop for the unlucky Minetta Lane.
