As for seeing the play now... you might be better off getting the original Broadway or London cast album. The story has undergone pretty much one major mutation per production since it first premiered, and in many ways is not the same show it was when it started. Fortunately, it plays almost like an opera, so you won't lose any story (that I know of).
