Having crawled from the West End in London to Guangzhou Opera House in China, the Jellicles, a tribe of cats, are playing with new toys they can only find in a junk yard in the city, such as a dim-sum steamer and dancing lion costume. The Jellicles will host their world-famous midnight party, which decides which member will ascend to the Heaviside Layer in the junk yard, on the stage of Guangzhou Opera House. Making its debut in 1981, Cats is the second longest-running show in Broadway history. Cats has been translated into more than 20 languages and the Chinese version hit the stage in Shanghai this August.

8 pm, daily except for Mondays until Dec 14. One more show at 3 pm during weekends. Opera Hall, Guangzhou Opera House, Exit B1 of Zhujiang New Town subway station, Guangzhou. 020-3839-2888.
