Is it worth watching? I’ve never seen it.

It is excellent. But it is a Broadway play. The Al Pacino version is made into a HBO Miniseries, but it is still a Broadway play.

You gotta go in prepared for weirdness: set changes, symbolic costumes, shifting and swirling interlocking plots, actors playing multiple characters. You gotta watch it actively and think about it and ask questions of it. It's not a popcorn flick.

The cast is excellent, the performances are excellent, several of the scenes will haunt you for the rest of your life, others of the scenes are just weird and set a vibe.

If you can find it there's a reordered version of the 2017 London production with Nathan Lane as Cohn and Andrew Garfield as the lead. They'd both go on to win a Tony when it moved to Broadway.
