Please, please, please make sure that you get the 2000 TV version.

Not that I have anything against the 1973 Norman Jewison directed version, I mean it DOES have Yvonne Elliman singing "I Don't Know How to Love Him," but, well, it's just so 70s, and I didn't like it very much then, but the newer one, it's very minimlist, but very cool. Strong performances, neat staging.

I always wanted to see the stage version, with Ben Vereen rising up on the big stained glass butterfly at the end, but my parents were simply not that cool.
