Diamond Head Theatre

The new diamond head theater is wonderful. Acoustics have improved. I can hear actors dialog clearly. There are more stalls in the restroom. The ushers are still helpful. The performances are a great value for the talent that play from the heart. Shows sell out quickly. I do sentimentally miss the original theater because it seemed to be a historic building and most importantly, it was where my parents and grandparents enjoyed the performances.

12/7/24Tonight we went to see White Christmas. I really enjoy the feeling of nostalgia in the song, dance and costuming. We have lots of nice local talent and should support our local theater. I hope everyone takes the time to attend a production. My personal favorites are the musicals!

Squeezed in a visit to Arendelle during my Hawaii trip -- Frozen the Musical, that is!I believe this was a local community production, but done so well! Didn't feel like an amateur or youth production, very professional, even the sets/costumes. Strong cast, singing on point. The venue was very nice! Comfortable seating, easy to purchase and decently-priced tickets online, great acoustics. Parking lot right across the street, and even a great view of the Waikiki skyline at night! The performance itself was very very good, especially the leads playing Elsa and Anna. Didn't purchase any concessions, but for this show they also had light-up snowflake wands for the kiddos to light up at a certain moment at the end of the show. Cute!

Frozen...Currently running from July 26th to August 25th is Dinsney's Frozen the Musical and at the last moment I got a chance to experience it all with the flair that I could never imagine. As I got the notice of an extra ticket I literally flew at the chance to see Frozen and who wouldn't as it was an honor to even be though feeling so grateful and humble I was basically speechless for this opportunity.Tonight was hosted by First Hawaiian Bank and I was so impressed with the selection of activities as there was photo booth, food, drinks and even shaved ice (of course!) along with Elsa and Anna who was amazing and stunning with us all, the vibe was a bright and festive with the theme as I enjoyed my "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" drink swirling my rock candy keeping things cool.The play was just wonderful the performers along with the theater staff who notify in a fun and polite way of the time we had before the show starts it was certainly the night to remember as I never experience anything like it. Thank you for my invite I'm so thankful and enjoyed the night very much, time spent with quality is certainly well worth the value. Remember to support the local artist along with Diamond Head Theatre who knows how to put on a show and more...bravo!Thank you!

Diamond head Theater has improved a lot from the previous years with their new Theater.The seating is much better and more comfortable and the walk space to get in and out is wider.The restrooms are way more rooming with more stalls and sinks compared to the old building they had which the lines for the restrooms were backed up with long lines.The line of plays get better every year and fills up very fast.Wheelchair accessible

This was our first time at the Diamond Head Theatre and we're already excited for the next show! I never saw their old theater, but the new one completed in January 2023 is gorgeous. I definitely see why they're known as "The Broadway of the Pacific". And for such a fair price, too!The staff were all so friendly and helpful, offering a true serving of the aloha spirit. You can tell everyone is happy to be there!We didn't get any food or drink this time, but from what we saw, their menu offers a lot for both young and old! Also, their sipping cups allow you to enjoy an adult beverage without worrying that you'll spill and mess up the aisles.

Bravo!Community theatre at its fullest for those who believe art should not be criticized.Directors have different visions, as do set designers, costume designers, audio and lighting engineers, musicians and of course the actors. Everyone drawn from enthusiastic, talented pool of community members with passion but differing levels of development.The current production of My Fair Lady could easily graced any stage. A simple but well used set incorporating modern projection to make it more than it was. Subtle lighting that created a 3D pop of the main singer. Costumes so colorful that you focus on them hiding mistakes in synchronicity in dancing. A production with a very strong cast and solid singers. Put another way, those in the audience too young to have even seen the movie adaptation laughed and laughed and laughed at the timeless comedy.A production of Mamma Mia somewhat different. Younger actors, some seeming like they were still in high school, less "perfection" in the actors ability to sing and dance, music from the cheap, Cassio keyboard sounds of 1990's department store synths. The music of ABBA. Realism (seriously folks, who in the real world would break out in a Disney Newsies dance number) and one heck of a good time that had everyone on their feet by the final curtain.Go, don't go but if you want to experience a bit more than UH football or volleyball as a form of entertainment, Diamond Heat Theater offers a great alternative. Quoting Neil Patrick Harris' 65th Tony Award opening, "Broadway is not just for gays anymore".

Aloha, the newly redone DHT is beautiful. Great stage, sets and comfy seats. There truly is not a bad seat in the house. Nice lanai on the lee side of the theater to avoid wind and rain. Great access to nice clean restrooms and a nice cafe for a drink or snack. We saw My Fair Lady, great timeless musical. Easy handicap access. Awesome venue. Make your way to your favorite play or musical. Enjoy!

Love, love, love this newly-renovated venue! The auditorium is so light & spacious and clean, and seating has ample keg room for those of us with long legs. We saw "Mama Mia" last night and simply enjoyed every, single minute of it. You could tell the performers really enjoyed what they were doing so it translated into a very happy audience who couldsing along to their favorite ABBA songs. The singers voices were awesome, especially Alison Aldcroft, who played the bride's mom. If you haven't been to this lovely space yet, find yourself an upcoming performance you'd like to see and check it out for yourself.

3-25-23 little sweetie's drama class presented what they learned on stage .The theme was a two person dialogue so each student was paired with a classmate.Only one pait had scripts in hand while the rest did a good to excellent job of memorizing lines and stage presence to be heard.The theatre holds several rows of seats. The theater is new with only 2 performances held.Do you believe all theaters are haunted?
