Paul Todd's Illuminated - The Music of the Lights at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall

Sponsored by Paul Todd Charities, previous Illuminated Shows have been Christmas Spectaculars.

This Show is the largest show to date, with over 75 performers coming together to celebrate Broadway Classics, and raise funds for specific Southwest Florida Charitable organizations.
