Rock-a-Hula

The show had a period theme, taking us on a journey from the past to the present, which made it a great way to experience Hawaiian culture.The live dances and performances were super energetic and really inspiring to watch!The food was okay. It was a family-friendly setup with a buffet and a hula dance performance, creating a nice atmosphere overall.

Wonderful variety show with fire dancer, singers, Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators. Voices were spot on. The main woman singing had the voice of an angel.Good production value. Very entertaining. Located in the Royal Hawaiian Center on the 4th floor of Bldg. B. You can't miss it once you get off the escalator. Bathrooms in the theatre were clean. Bartender on site serving drinks. Located in a building with a food hall and many restaurants. Parking (not cheap) available in a garage across the street.

This is actually a really good show! It gets great reviews and it's definitely not your standard luau you've heard about. I really liked how they incorporated the traditional/cultural Hawaiian things w/the modern eras of music. The dancing was top notch (all dancers perform throughout the show, which is quite an accomplishment as they need to do dances from multiple different genres), the impersonators were very good (I really liked the Elvis one, as he did embody the spirit/look of the real Elvis). Just surprised he didn't actually say "Thank you very much" or have an announcer say "The King has left the building". I guess they can only do so much. Michael Jackson was good, but he only does a few songs/dances (though does them quite well). If you're looking forward to seeing the King of Pop, just know it'll be a pretty short performance. There was an MC from Hawaii who also sings her own songs and does covers. She keeps the crowd engaged. There was also a dancer that I believe did a duet as Big Iz w/the MC. Not sure if it was a recording (didn't seem like it), but he was pretty good too. They even had a fire dancer, who was outstanding and my kids were mesmerized at his skills (eating fire, rubbing fire on body, spinning it, etc). Very impressive.I also liked all the cast comes out in the lobby after to sign autographs (no charge I think) and take pictures. I assume you wouldn't get that at a big Vegas show (at least not for free). The drinks were also reasonably priced--a pina colada is only $10. It wasn't even close to sold out on the weekday that we went, which was to be expected. The auditorium is also set up to have good seating pretty much anywhere in there. I also saw a ton of people taking photos and videos, I guess that is also ok (just no flash photography I think). Overall, a great experience and I am glad I can say I went to my first luau on my first trip to Hawaii.

Parking at Royal Hawaiian Center, first hour free, 2nd and 3rd hour is $3 each hour.We arrived by 5:30 and were seated right away. Dinner started around 6:00. It was a good spread of buffet with Hawaiian food and prime rib and roast pork. Followed by the show and we all enjoyed it very much!

Had such an amazing time! Loved the staff and the show was epic ! But.....food was extremely disappointing. The experience was great met new people and had an overall great experience.The guy playing Micheal Jackson just needs alittle more energy as he seemed at little annoyed or nervous but he did good just could tell something was bothering him mentally. Rest of the cast did absolutely amazing loved every minute! I also feel like the male dancers need more time to shine , I love the women they did great but would like to see the males shine as equally as they are definitely talented.

Pretty amazing show. I loved the choreography, the music, the coordination. Everything about the show was lovely. I found myself singing along with Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. As far as the food, it was not that special to me. I didn't see much of a difference between the VIP seating and regular seating because I was literally just behind the VIP seating and saw the same views as them. We also had the same food. The only difference was that I was one row behind them during the show, so save your money and just get the regular tickets.

9/10 best Vegas style Luau on the island! I parked in parking garage. Took elevator up one floor and then walked for about 5mins until we arrived there. We already ate so we didn't do the luau. I will check the luau out before I leave the island. (Whenever that is lol) After that we checked in and went to the bar and ordered some drinks. Then headed inside to watch the show. The show is theater type seating. It was a great temperature inside so you won't need your jacket. I was in shorts and a tee shirt. The show was amazing they told the Hawaiian story throughout. I love how they incorporated Elvis and Micheal Jackson. Everyone did a great job! I was really pleased. I just wished Micheal Jackson would moon walk more. He only did it for one song at the end. Which was a little disappointing. When you leave a lot of the restaurants will be closed. That's why it's best if you do the luau with the show or come early to eat before the show. To avoid being hungry after. I did however find Fire Grill Wakiki which was right outside the parking garage. The food was great and you could walk there.

This was an absolutely amazing performance! Brought the wife here to celebrate our honeymoon and this show brought us both so much joy and nostalgia. The performers are true pros, Elvis transports you to the 60s and 70s with his great vocals and dancing. MJ is smooth with his voice and cool moves and the local artist Chardonnay had amazing vocals. The band and dancers were also top notch---the fire dancer thrilled the entire crowd. We will be back! Highly encourage everyone to check this out and support the local artists.

We got the Original Luau ticket that came with the buffet and the show. Right when you check in you sit down and they come with a Mai tai. Then within ~30 mins you get up to get the buffet. I got a little bit of everything. I didn't love the crusted fish. The chicken was tasty. They cut the pork and beef but wished they gave a larger portion the first time. The noodles were good, and the Mac potato salad was good. The dessert was also tasty, I loved the coconut haupia. I got two of the vanilla ice cream and topped it off with Oreo crumbs. You could totally go up for seconds. The staff were friendly throughout. There was dancing throughout the dinner. We paid $117/pp after a discount. Now onwards to the show. We went into a nice theater. We were about 4 rows away so that was perfect. The show was awesome, they had Elvis and Michael Jackson and classic Hawaiian songs. Then the fire performance came out and that was lit. Highly recommend this part. Overall was a great experience, the food was decent but the show was amazing!

Show is pretty good. It was the only luau I could find in the area that I could opt out of the dinner since my kids would not be to last. I had never taken my 3 and 5 year olds to a live show before and was worried they wouldn't last the 1.5 hours. They loved it and the show kept their attention. Now they're super into Michael Jackson. I do wish they had more Michael Jackson songs in the show though.. There's also a fire part, which my kids liked too. At the end you can take a photo with the actors before you leave, which is nice.
