The Point is a fable by Nilsson. It is about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. In 1977, a stage adaptation of The Point was presented at the Mermaid Theatre in London. Featured in the cast were Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, who were long-time friends of Nilsson. This is the first time that the original cast album will be released in North America and on CD.
