Hawaii

Theatre entertainment in Hawaii

  1. A

    'Ulalena

    Along the lines of a Cirque du Soleil-style show, this extravaganza has its home at the 700-seat Maui Theatre. The theme is Hawaiian history and storytelling; the medium is modern dance, brilliant stage sets, acrobats and elaborate costumes. All in all, an entertaining, high-energy performance.

    Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Concert Series

    Top slack key guitarists Ledward Kaapana and Dennis Kamakahi are monthly guests at this exceptional concert series, and George Kahumoku Jr, a slack key legend in his own right, is the weekly host. The theater can only hold 250 so call ahead for reservations. Performances are at 19:30 Wednesday.

    Beautifully restored after years of neglect, the 1928 art-deco theater that once hosted such big names as Sinatra and Bob Hope is now the venue for community theater productions.
