Apr 5-21: Cats
Tickets are selling out for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s feline musical, one of the most celebrated and record-breaking shows in the world. Songs like ‘Memory’ are deeply imprinted on many of us and characters like Rum Tum Tugger, Mr Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks run through our imagination. Savor the larger-than-life spectacle once again, or discover the magic for the first time.
Apr 5-21, 7.30pm; RMB380-1,180. Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center. See event listing. Tickets.
Apr 6: Little Wizards Puppet Show
Award-winning puppeteers of Bulgaria’s State Puppet Theatre Varna arrive for two endearing shows. With a mix of actors both human and fabric, they tell the tale of that strange old man down the lane, the one who never smiles, who dismisses all the joys of the world. Why is he so grumpy and what can change his ways? Bring out the little ones to find out why this family-friendly spectacle won awards for its acting, direction and set design.
Apr 6, 10.30am & 3pm; RMB80-200. Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center. See event listing. Tickets.
Apr 6: Shenzhen Stories Presents Fun & Games
Fresh off April Fool's Day, enjoy live storytelling that's centered around fun and games while occasionally dipping into the serious. Folks from Shenzhen are recruited to share their stories at this crowd-pleasing event; be sure to arrive early to get seats.
Apr 6, 7.30pm; free entry. Sculpting in Time (Shekou). See event listing.
Apr 6: Alpine Decline at B10 Live
Once one of Beijing's best psychedelic rock bands, Alpine Decline has relocated to LA but continues making their unique strain of trippy and immersive music.

Epic Parties (WeChat: 'EpicPartiesInc') offers the sands, green cliffs and secluded bay of this pristine beach (RSVP required) for RMB80 early bird or RMB100. Pay the transit cost and RMB20 beach entrance fee yourself, but enjoy free-flow beer and vodka drinks while you soak in the sun or hit the volleyball nets. Too... tired to head home? Crash there for RMB80 (tent) or RMB130-400 (hotel).

Apr 7, 8pm; RMB150 presale, RMB180 door. B10 Live. See event listing. Tickets.
Apr 8: Koochewsen at B10 Live
Complicated, extended music in the legacy of King Crimson and Pink Floyd are the mainstay of Koochewsen. But singer/guitarist Riyo also professes a love of ’70s Japanese folk artists, covering older hits like ‘Yume no Naka e’ (Into the Dreams). The combination is a sometimes-nostalgic, often-psychedelic sound that will launch you out of your everyday world and into somewhere – or somewhen – far away.
Apr 8, 8.30pm; RMB80 presale RMB100 door. B10 Live. See event listing. Tickets.
