The concert was on SKY last Christmas in SD but it's getting it's first screening in HD, should look very nice indeed.
According to Digiguide it's on the 5th of April at 16:45.
If I knew that a month ago I wouldn't have bought the DVD

This is good news. I went to the actual concert and it was a stunning musical production!
I have the SD DVD and the audio is incredible, I wonder if this will ever appear on blu ray...?
Just a thought, Beth (the preacher's wife) in HD... | |

One of the exhibitors at the what hi fi show had it as a demo with a very nice audio set-up (i think it was cyrus). I was stuck to my seat and sat there for about 20 mins until they changed the demo disk !

I'd snap this up on Blu-ray no problem even with the DVD version on the shelf

Great show though and should be stunning in HD. Thanks for the heads up.

I've got the SA-CD and just close my eyes and use my imagination - a close second to a potential blu-ray!  | |

A quick heads up for all the WOTW fans, in addition to the HD showing of the concert as mentioned by the OP, there is a special on Sky Arts HD (and it is in HD!) on Saturday night at 22.15 showing the behind the scenes buid up to the concert, rehearsals etc.
Should be worth popping in your planner if you're a fan.

Yep it's an excellent companion piece to the main show, some very good behind the scenes action and drama.
