My local theatre (Utica, NY's Stanley Theatre) just completed a roughly $20 million renovation, expanding the stage, upgrading facilities, adding kitchens, dressing rooms, a usable loading dock, etc.
As part of the renovation, the theatre finally installed a chandelier. The theatre always had intended to have one since the place was built (early 1900s), but it never got done. In the chandelier's place, the theatre hang a single light bulb. It looked absolutely ridiculous, and lead many performers to make fun of it (I remember a performance by Peter, Paul, and Mary where Mary went on quite a tangent about how funny it was to have a single light bulb in a place where a chandelier obviously belongs).
Now the theatre has the world's largest LED chandelier, installed by Meyda Tiffany (they have a local branch). Pictures:
