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?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have checked all the DVD version I can find, and it isn't any of those.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Cast Album Collector only lists the videos we know about & no non-commercial ones.

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.

Yeah the only semi-staged concert professionally filmed was the LuPone/Hearn concert, which i believe was once repeated on Trio before it went under.
