I hate when people are lazy and just post random questions, but I am truly struggling to find something after months of searching and was hoping maybe someone on these forum could help.
In the early 2000s (I can't remember the exact year, but sometime before 2005), I watched a unique blend stage/concert version of "Sweeney Todd" on TrioTV. Trio, which I believe is now cancelled, aired it a couple times, but I can't seem to remember what company or group did this version. Does anyone know which production this was?

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Wikipedia lists a number of concert productions that it could have been. Do you have any idea who was in it?

..sounds like the concert/semi staged production with Hearn and Lupone which was filmed on the west coast, during Stevie's 70(?)th birthday year.
It's on dvd, or at least was.

Posted: 6/7/10 at 2:55amYeah the only semi-staged concert professionally filmed was the LuPone/Hearn concert, which i believe was once repeated on Trio before it went under.
