Overview

Billed as Hawaii's largest live show, and staged with a scale to match — a full theatre production in the middle of Waikiki, with a live band, elaborate costume changes and a cast working through the dance traditions of the Pacific.

The first half moves across Polynesia: Hawaiian hula, the fast drumming and hip work of Tahiti, Maori haka, and Samoan fire knife spun and thrown in near-darkness. The second half changes gear entirely into tribute performances, with impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson that are considerably better than they have any need to be.

Dinner packages add a buffet of Hawaiian and Pacific Rim dishes served beforehand, along with lei making, crafts and photographs during the pre-show. The venue sits inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, so most Waikiki guests simply walk over.
