Commercial proshot video. Often mislabelled as being September 12th, 1982, HOWEVER, that is when it aired on PBS, not when it was recorded.

August 1986 | Plays in the Park, NJ | VOB + smalls (3.99GB)

Art Neill (Sweeney Todd), Lisa Cohen (Mrs. Lovett), Christopher John Williams (Adolfo Pirelli)

January 1988? | San Jose Civic Light Opera? | VOB + smalls (3.97GB)

Cast unknown.

This is a different interpretation of the show, set during World War I. Beautifully filmed. Occasionally dark, and some generational loss. Semi-pro shot using one camera on a tripod.

**Even though this circulates as 1988 San Jose CLO, the video does not appear to be from that production. The San Jose production played January 1989 with Ed Evanko and Jean Stapleton in the roles of Mr. & Mrs. Lovett. The video features different actors in different costumes (based on production photographs found online).

New Israeli Opera. Sung in English. A full stage production; first generation tape, good video despite its age. Good capture, mostly full stage with some closeups. Clear sound, a few balance issues, but nothing too serious.

1993 | Rotterdam, Netherlands | VOB + smalls (3.39GB)

Ernst Daniël Smid (Sweeney Todd), Simone Kleinsma (Mrs. Lovett), Bas Groenenberg (Anthony), Petra Berger (Johanna Barker), Jimmy Hutchinson (Judge Turpin), Rolf Koster (Tobias Ragg), Wil van der Meer (Beadle Bamford), Ineke van Klinken (Beggar Woman)

Newly-surfaced video with Christine Baranski in the role of Mrs. Lovett, who fell ill during the production and the majority of the performances featured her understudy. The video runs about an hour and 45 minutes - most of the show, but an occasional cut or two. Well-filmed and clear.

A nice HD Capture in 16:9 wide-screen of a very interesting presentation which notably takes place in the 1930s instead of 1846 and restored the cut-off number 'Johanna (Mea Culpa)'. In the shot there are two heads visible from the people seated in front of me. B+

andflyingaway's master. About 27 minutes of highlights including: ‘Johanna’, ‘Kiss Me’, and Act 2 until part of ‘Johanna (Reprise)’. A bunch of clips from the opening night of Sweeney Todd in Manila! Shot 3rd row at the balcony. I shot more but they were too zoomed in that they’re more likely to be considered audio so I decided not to include them. I was very near the usher and they were really strict. The phone was in my jacket pocket so I couldn’t see anything and I was scared of getting caught, so a lot is very zoomed and I’m really sorry about that. I absolutely loved the set, it was reimagined into a more modern almost gangster like setting. Shot in 4k on my phone.

juniper47’s master. Filmed in 4K, released in 1080p and 4K.** Absolutely no obstructions at all, minimal washout, very steady filming aside from a handful of moments to swat mosquitos away (as this was an outdoor amphitheatre). Carolee is an absolute delight to watch in this role, and Craig was a fabulous Sweeney Todd as well! Never to be sold except by master, never to be posted in part or in whole anywhere online.

**The copy I own is 1080p.

bikinibottomday’s master. Excellent 4K capture of this revival! Increased wandering / readjustment and unfocusing throughout. Some minor head obstruction in the second act that is worked around very well. Other obstruction throughout only lasts for a second or two each time. Due to the angle, some of Johanna's moments are blocked off by the archway. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source.
