During TIME's backstage visit a week before the Dec. 15 opening, co-producer Cameron Mackintosh is helping to wallpaper the theater, which is being refurbished. Richard Eyre, former head of Britain's National Theatre, mutters into a headset, while co-director and choreographer Matthew Bourne adjusts an elbow here, a twirl there. Technicians are honing the effects.
