In recent years there have been an increasing number of English language stage shows, a welcome addition to Beijing’s nightlife for many expats. Such as the Northern Broadside Theatre Company’s production of the ‘Tempest’, a touring theatre company from the UK and the popular local production ‘I Heart Beijing’. There have also been increases in the number of stage shows performed with English subtitles or in a mixture of both Chinese and English.
The world-famous musical 'Mamma Mia!', based on the songs of ABBA, ran at Beijing's Poly Theatre in August 2007, part of a broader trend of international and English-language stage productions touring Beijing that has continued in the years since. Tickets for current shows in Beijing can typically be booked through major Chinese ticketing platforms such as Damai (piao.com.cn).
