Show was good. We were a bit surprised that there wasn’t more traditional dancing but still enjoyed the Elvis and Michael Jackson sections.

Worth it!

Elaine_P, Nov 2025
Very professional and well done show! We loved the Elvis & Michael Jackson tribute artists! The show was great!

The show was amazing. My husband and I loved the show. We loved Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson the hula girls, the guy with the fire. It was a fantastic show. I would recommend to anyone. It’s for all ages.

Cruise Ship Entertainment

Terrie_W, Jul 2025
Cruise type of performance. Music too loud for the main female singers. Couldn't hear them. Male dancers average to view.

Awesome performance

William_W, Jun 2025
Wow what an amazing show. Really enjoyed the experience and well worth going to. Truly worth your time you don’t want to miss this one while in Honolulu!

Average Broadway-like show

CristinaIonescu, Jun 2025
The show is artistically average, concentrating more on rock and pop (Elvis Presley and M Jackson) and not on Hawaiian music and traditions. I would have expected something more authentic hawaiian and not Broadway-like. The only good moment was in my opinion the fire juggler.

Rock-a-Hula Fun

Rebecca_E, May 2025
Lots of fun. Talented performers. Variety of music with lots of energy. Elvis and Michael Jackson were some of the best I have seen.

Awesome!!!

Deborah_C, Apr 2025
That’s is awesome entertainment and loved the story of how music changed in Hawaii. Every one was so talented and put loved doing it! It showed in their performance.

Great show with inclusion...

Samantha_M, Mar 2025
Great show with inclusion of the audience. Performers were phenomenal from the band to dancers and singers! The theater has no “bad” seats to view from and the seats are soft and spacious.

Love you Elvis

Sharon_S, Mar 2025
This was very interesting and nice, I think Elvis feel in love with me lol. Everyone did their parts in this show.

A lot packed into a single show

Karl_W, Mar 2025
A high energy show featuring Elvis and Michael Jackson. There was also some energetic traditional hula and fire dancing on stage. Impressive performances.

Expect the unexpected

Preetham_E, Feb 2025
We just came back from the 1 week Around the islands tour through NCL Pride cruise and has 1.5 days at Oahu. Wanted to experience a Luau show and this was the only tickets available. I was dead tired with the day's activities but we still attended. Great show for experiencing the native culture and fire tricks and skills.

Very nice presentation....

Wayne_B, Feb 2025
Very nice presentation. The singers were excellent. The fire “presenter” did a very good job. Overall the entire show was well done.

Very worthwhile

Verally_C, Jan 2025
It was a great show. I loved seeing the different hula outfits and the song choice was great. At times the band was louder than the signers but everyone was great. I loved the performance and the fire dancer.

Great show. The Elvis and...

David_V, Jan 2025
Great show. The Elvis and Michael Jackson were perfect! The dancing was flawless. The music and lighting really added to the great experience! We saw the show last year and came back again. We have told friends about going and everyone is in total agreement of the high quality show.

Terry_C, Jan 2025
The vocalist needed to be louder or the band needed to be softer. It was hard to hear the vocals. The venue is nice and everyone was very friendly.

Rock-a-Hula on New Year's Day

Melinda_T, Jan 2025
This is a very entertaining show, it's enjoyable for everyone. I booked it on the same day for my family which consists of 2 adult children in their 20's, so it was a gamble on my part getting tickets for the whole family. During the show, my children were clapping and singing along with the artists. There was laughter and smiles on their faces. The hula dancers were great, and the fire dancer was on fire, literally and figuratively. LOL. Go watch the show.

Wonderful time with family

Malyadri_J, Dec 2024
Wonderful show. Good quality and content to watch with the family. The show have a good glimpse of how hawaiian music transitioned over time given the western influence on them over the last century.

Fantastic show

Noella_S, Dec 2024
The whole show was tremendous fun and there was a very talented cast on display. I enjoyed all the acts very much. As an Elvis fan I really enjoyed that segment maybe the best but all the other performers were very talented and I enjoyed them just as much. Its was a very well put together production and worth the entry fee. The fire twirlers were equal first I think for being highly skilled.

Great show. Had fun...

David_W, Dec 2024
Great show. Had fun learning of history and guy doing Elvis was excellent! Nice way to cap off the evening

Good show

Kelsie_D, Nov 2024
The show was great! The Micheal Jackson impersonator was the highlight of my son's trip. The fire dancer was amazing. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Not a Vegas performance

bakjong, Nov 2024
The idea of seeing imitations of Elvis and Michael Jackson was untrue. The Elvis singing was disappointing. He was over weight for the costume and his singing was subpar. He was struggling with the pitch of the songs. Michael Jackson imitation was better, but the singing again was subpar. The dancing was good. Overall, I would not go again.

Good night out

Narelle_B, Oct 2024
Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators were amazing. The history of the local music scene up to current day was great.

Ok, not great

David_D, Oct 2024
Was not what we expected. We were hoping more of a Hawaiian experience rather than long Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonations appropriating Hawaiian culture. I am sure was great for many visitors but we were hoping for a higher quality Hawaiian performance.

Amazing performance.

Ahmad_K, Oct 2024
Elvis song 🎵 the blue Hawaii. Reviewed the history of Hawaii music 🎶 was wonderful. The dancers was so nice and talented. Amazing performance.

Good Show

Theresa_W, Oct 2024
Good variety show. Great singers, dancers, and impersonators. Michael Jackson’s moves were on point. Elvis was very Elvis-like. Cast took pictures with the audience after the show. It was entertaining and a nice way to end the evening. Also enjoyed dinner at the same location as several restaurants were open on the second floor in the building as we left the show.

Hula in Hawaii

Bonnie_T, Oct 2024
All seats are great. Fun to spend time with family. Great singers and dancers. Nice to see old videos of Hawaii.

Outstanding show

allison_w, Oct 2024
The whole show was outstanding loved it, elvis tribute was amazing dancing music best show in Honolulu. We even bought our photo which was lovely.

Great experience overall

BarbaraKleinecke, Oct 2024
Thoroughly enjoyed the show. The tickets do NOT include the buffet - so plan on purchasing upgrade if you want that option - although, it was $96 per person and from what I saw, looked like a retirement home setting of tables (slight humor but true). Overall, seating is easy - no bad views. Elvis and Michael Jackson were FANTASTIC. Every outfit and dance move on point. Loved it! Highly recommend!
