Title: Excellent show, DVD could be better
Review: I'm a huge fan of Sweeney Todd, having seen the original Broadway cast as well as the concert version and the latest minimalist revival (both starring Patty Lupone). It was great to see the release of this version of the show, and the editing and sound are excellent. The show was apprently taped "live" in front of an audience at least once, and then probably performed once or twice more to capture the additional camera angles. Some of these additional camera angles are lip-synched, but it's done well and not distracting.I would have given the DVD five stars if the image quality had been better and if there had been some bonus features on the DVD. As it is now, it's a basic recording of a great performance.
