it's a good laugh and is actually kind of powerful in parts.

These kinds of plays or operas being done with modern dress is one of my big artistic pet hates.
But this works. They're lucid about what they're doing, it's deliberately explosive and zany and always visually interesting.
It's funny, strange, hypnotic and (pretentious motifs aside) really does whip up powerful feelings for its main characters.
Watch Franco Zefferelli's version first of course but once you're familiar with the text THEN give this a try.
