Ms Cassie Sandra,
Nice to read your post. I can see that your Beijing shows are not included in your travel itinerary. Did you ever think that your guide would spend the whole night to accompany you for the show for at least four hours including to pick up and see off at your hotel? So, 200yuan is not high. I presume that driver also went to the show with you. Did you tip the driver for the extra night work?

In Beijing, I wanted to go to some shows and asked my guide to arrange that for me. He arranged the opera, acrobatics and martial art shows, with charge of 200 yuan for each. The guide always went to buy the tickets for me after i paid the money to him and asked me to wait in quite a long distance away. When i asked another patron the price of the show, I came to know the price tended to be 70-80yuan each, less than half what i paid. And my seats were in the balcony, almost as far back as you could go. To me, that means that someone is getting about 100 yuan, and nothing i can do about it. In view of my experience, you could buy the tickets on your own on the spot, to avoid being overcharged. Or follow your guide closely to check the ture amount he/she paid.
