Despite this morbid moniker, the scene inside the building is one of lively activity, with techs rushing around to finish the show’s elaborate staging.

Just then, Tobias Forge, the man whose job it is to address tonight’s 5,000-strong congregation appears. K! doesn’t notice him at first given the ninjalike silence of his approach, but there’s an intensity to his presence in these make-or break moments of preparation.
“I’m interested in tour production, so I get to know a lot of these things,” he offers matter-of-factly. “I’m sure I only get to know about 40 percent of it, but I notice if things aren’t in place.”
