I would say either a canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II or Canon 50mm f/1.2L

^ this. I'd lean towards 50L since you have the 24L.

If you don't need the 2.8, get the 17-40. I LOVE that lens.

As much as I love my 135f2 indoors in larger settings, even with my 60D crop, I'd go with the 16-35f2.8 II. I use my 16-35 when I'm in cramped quarters, or, need a group shot in tight situations. It looks like it would fit right in to your needs.

On the other hand...

If you want to do some outdoor portraiture or anywhere else you have some distance, the 135 f2 can't be beat, in my opinion, although your 70-200 will produce fantastic results in that range, as well.
