Not to mention: The Whore House/Cabaret World was downright retarded.
Honestly, THIS would have been a better movie -
Take out the superfluous middle layer - There's enough disgusting abuse within the context of an insane asylum that makes the middle layer really unnecessary... I think that it would have been a much, much better movie if they made it significantly darker - Put the environment/action purely in the insane asylum, but pull it to the extreme a bit, and then she uses her fantasies to escape abuse...
That way the fantasies can still be a metaphor for her struggles, you can still make more elaborate horrors out of the "reality" and you don't need to have the retarded unnecessary middle layer. I thought the Cabaret was so unnecessary.
Brazil, anyone? Two layers are quite enough to make a great escapist/fantasy movie. Why have a third?
