Jul 24-30: The Bodyguard Musical
Whether or not you’re a fan of 90s film The Bodyguard, you definitely remember its most famous line, sung by the late Whitney Houston: “I-I-I will always love you-u-u-u”. The dramatic tale – a bodyguard is tasked with protecting a movie star from a murderous stalker – has since been adapted into a hit musical adaptation. Check out what all the fuss is about during the show’s weeklong Beijing stint.
Sat Jul 22-Sun Jul 30, 7.30pm; RMB180-1080; Poly Theater, see event listing. Tickets via douban.com/event/28661821/.
Jul 24-31: Falling Into Place
A solo exhibition by artist Song Jiayin, ‘Falling Into Place’ is a collection of artworks presenting memories from the artist’s life. Song’s presentation is purportedly inspired by the short stories of Raymond Carver – simple at face value, yet murky and sentimental once one scratches beneath the surface. The artist examines everyday objects – both natural and man-made – that have shaped and informed her life. Looking at the works, viewers are in turn reminded of formative experiences of their own lives.
Through Mon Jul 31, Hunsand Space, A8, 211 Caochangdi Art District, Chaoyang 朝阳区草场地国际艺术区211号院A8 (185 1599 2737).

Jul 29: Monster Jam
For the first time ever, Monster Jam brings its big-ass trucks and crazy stunts to China. The Bird’s Nest, specifically. Confused? Monster Jam is a live motorsport event that originates from the US. It showcases racing and freestyle competitions between monster trucks, while smaller shows involve wheelie competitions and donut contests. Expect to see professional drivers perform outrageous moves – in the air and over trucks – by hitting ramps and spinning their wheels. It’s raw and in your face, sure, but if there’s one thing people love, it’s a spectacle.
Sat Jul 29, 7pm; RMB180-680; National Stadium (Bird’s Nest), see event listing. Tickets via en.damai.cn/event/tickets_118992.
