#TootingHistory: legendary composer Stephen Sondheim visited #Tooting in 2014 to watch Sweeney Todd being performed in Harrington’s Pie & Mash Shop on Selkirk Rd!

The show, produced by Tooting Arts Club, was such a success that Sondheim, the show’s composer, flew in from the US for the last night!
