Past shows from the stages of the Elgin and Winter Garden theatres will also be spotlighted - including the new Canadian company of Cats, a tribute performance from the Stratford company of Tommy, and excerpts from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Napoleon.

"We really wanted to give an excellent sampling of the historical richness of the Elgin and Winter Garden theatres," says Marlene Smith, Artistic Producer of the gala show. "It will be a fantastic night of entertainment with many talented performers."

Ross Petty − a favourite of the Elgin Theatre, who has been performing his holiday family musicals for the last 17 years, will join Dan Chameroy (Beauty and the Beast, West Side Story) for a special tribute to past pantomines.

Colin Mochrie, Deb McGrath and Sandra Shamas will round out the evening by reflecting on the history of the theatres, from vaudeville to the Toronto International Film Festival.

Christopher Plummer is the Honorary Chair of the 100th anniversary committee. Well-known Canadian producer Marlene Smith is producing the show.

The Chandelier Gala is part of the Chandelier Project launched a year ago. Funds raised at the Chandelier Gala will be used to re-create the chandelier. The funds will also support the ongoing conservation and protection of the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre, which is a national historic site and the last operating double-decker theatre in the world.
