All Reviews for Live Shows & Performances

I was very moved. It was fun to feel a sense of unity with the audience. The intensity was also wonderful, and I can only say it was the best. If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend it.

とても感動しました。観客と一体感が味わえるようで楽しかったです。迫力がも素晴らしいですし最高の一言です。ハワイに行くなら是非オススメです。

As expected from Cirque du Soleil, the performance was impressive and matched the Hawaiian theme perfectly. There were also audience participation elements, which made it very enjoyable.

さすが、シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユという迫力、ハワイのテーマにも合っていて、客席参加のしかけもあり、とても楽しめました。

It was fun to experience various activities on the vast grounds. There were many different shows to see, and I was able to participate in some experiences as well. The dinner was delicious, and the evening show, which incorporated Polynesian history along with a fire performance, was wonderful.

広大な敷地で色々体験もでき楽しかったです。
いろんなショー見えるし、体験もできました。
ディナーも美味しいし、イブニングショーではポリネシアンの歴史織り込みながら炎のパフォーマンスが素晴らしかった。

It's not an exaggeration to say that I came to Hawaii to see the fire dance in this show. The other shows were also well-crafted as entertainment, and I was able to enjoy them with peace of mind.

このショーのファイヤーダンスを見るためにハワイに来たと言っても過言ではない。他のショーもエンターテインメントとして完成されており、安心して楽しめました。

I was torn between the hotel luau and this show, but I chose this one for its convenience. I had heard that it wasn't just a hula show, and the quality of the performance was wonderfully impressive. The kids also enjoyed watching it.

ホテルのルアウと迷って、お手軽さからこのショーにしました。
フラショーだけではないと聞いていましたが、ショーのクオリティとして素晴らしい完成度でした。
子どもも楽しく見ました。

This was my second time using it. This time, I brought people who were experiencing the Auwana show for the first time. Just like last time, it was a powerful performance!

2回目の利用。
今回はアウアナ初体験の方たちを連れての観劇でした。
前回同様迫力のあるショーでした！

I enjoyed watching the history of hula in Hawaii, and it was wonderful to see Elvis and Michael Jackson! I had a great time drinking and having fun.

ハワイ　フラの歴史を見ながら
楽しめて、エルビスやマイケルジャクソン
素敵でした！
お酒を飲みながら　楽しい時間を過ごせました

The theater inside the hotel is small, but you can see the entire stage well even from the cheaper seats. It gets crowded before entry, but since it's inside the hotel, you can feel secure. Because it's a small theater, entering and exiting was also smooth.

ホテル内の劇場のためこじんまりしていますが、安い席でも全体がよく見えます。入場前は混雑していますがホテル内のため安心です。小規模劇場のため出入りもスムーズでした。

The show's structure was great, and the music and visuals matched perfectly, making it enjoyable. The singers and dancers were also glamorous and very good.

ショーの構成がよく、音楽と映像がピッタリ合っていて楽しかった。シンガーやダンサーも華やかでとてもよかった。

I regret not having seen such fun entertainment in Hawaii before! The food is delicious, they come to your seat to sing, and there are dance lessons, so you can enjoy yourself thoroughly before the show even starts. The show is, of course, amazing. I received a scarf that Elvis Presley wiped his sweat with (laughs). It's a secret that Michael Jackson had a little bit of a belly (laughs).

Thank you for the fantastic performances filled with singing and dancing.

This is definitely a show you must see when you come to Waikiki.

ハワイにこんなに楽しいエンターテイメントがあったのか！と今まで見なかった事を後悔しました。
食事も美味しいし、席まで来て歌ってくれるし、踊り方のレッスンもありショーの前にも充分楽しめます。
ショーは、もちろん最高です。
エルビス・プレスリーには、彼の汗を吹いたスカーフを頂きました(笑)
マイケル・ジャクソンのお腹がちょっぴり出ていたのは内緒(笑)

歌に踊りに最高のパフォーマンスをありがとうございました。

ワイキキに来たら絶対みるべきショーです。

I chose a plan with a buffet, but I felt like the buffet time was a bit too long, so next time I go, I will skip the buffet. The selection at the buffet was sufficient. You line up and choose your food in order, and at the meat station (which had two types), they cut it for you right in front of you. There were several types of desserts, but I couldn't eat as much as I thought I would.

After the buffet, the time to move to the show venue and wait for it to start was a bit long, and I got a little bored, but once the show began, it was a lot of fun. There were hula dances, fire dances, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson performances, and I was never bored throughout. The singers were skilled, and the dancers were great too. The dancers changed costumes and came out multiple times. I was really impressed watching them. This was my first time seeing a show other than the free hula dance show, and I enjoyed it very much.

ビュッフェ付きのプランにしましたが、ビュッフェの時間が長く持て余してしまうような感じだったので、次回行くとしたらビュッフェなしにします。ビュッフェの内容としては十分な感じでした。列に並んで順番に自分で選んで取り、最後にあるお肉のコーナーでは（二種類ありました）目の前で切り分けてくれます。デザートも数種類ありましたが、思っているほど食べられませんでした。

ビュッフェのあと、ショー会場への移動・スタートまでの時間が長く、少し飽きてしまいましたが、ショーが始まるととても楽しかったです。フラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、エルピスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、終始全く飽きません。歌を歌う方もお上手で踊りもお上手。ダンサーさんも着替え・着替え、何度も出てきます。すごいなぁと感心して見ておりました。無料で見られるフラダンスショー以外でショーを見たのは初めてで、とても楽しかったです。

During the meal, there was a live ukulele performance that took requests, and there were also plenty of activities like hula and hula lessons, making it a truly enjoyable time. The food was even more delicious than I had imagined. On stage, I was able to see hula and Tahitian dance, and the performers who looked so much like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson brought back nostalgic memories. Despite being sleepy from jet lag, I was treated to an amazing performance. I definitely want to come back and see it again next time. Thank you very much!

食事の時ウクレレ生演奏でリクエストにも応えて頂き、またフラやフラレッスンなど盛りだくさんで本当に楽しいひと時でした。
ご飯も想像以上に美味しかったです。
ステージではフラやタヒチアンダンスも見れたしエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンがすごーく似てたし曲やダンスも懐かしいし時差ぼけで眠かったにも関わらず最高のパフォーマンスを見せていただきました。
また来た時には絶対見に来たいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

The strength, delicacy, and captivating beauty of the human body... the story enhanced by the visuals... it was an impressive stage performance. Not only was the thrilling performance enjoyable, but I also learned about Hawaiian traditional culture and laughed at the comedic skits, losing track of time while having fun.

強靭で、繊細で、魅入ってしまう人体の美しさ…映像が盛り上げるストーリー性…圧巻のステージでした。スリリングなパフォーマンスはもちろん、ハワイの伝統文化を学んだり、コミカルな小芝居に笑ったりしながら、時間の経つのを忘れて楽しめました。

I haven't seen Cirque du Soleil in Japan recently, so I enjoyed it in Hawaii. The venue is compact, so there aren't many big tricks, but there is a sense of unity. It also has a Hawaiian vibe, making it enjoyable for everyone. The location is also easy to access around Waikiki.

最近日本でシルクドゥソレイユを見ていなかったので、ハワイで楽しみました。
会場はコンパクトなのであまり大技はありませんが一体感はあります。
ハワイ感もあってどなたでも楽しめる内容だと思います。
場所もワイキキ界隈で行きやすいところです。

It was absolutely wonderful. The venue was very small, and you could see well from anywhere, which made it very impressive. I was very surprised by the high level of performance. It was really great.

とても素晴らしかった。会場がとても狭く、どこからでもよく見えてとても迫力がありました。レベルの高さにとても驚きました。とても良かったです。

I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:

1. Ticket options & pricing
You can choose between show-only tickets or a luau buffet paired with the show. Pricing varies quite a bit. I was able to snag a 2-for-1 show-only deal, which came out to about $43 per person, and I also saw a single-ticket promo for around $60. The luau + show packages run $100+ depending on whether you upgrade to VIP. The buffet is definitely better suited for non-vegetarians, but there are some meat-free options.

2. The venue & overall vibe
This is a non-traditional show set in a large, comfortable amphitheater on the top floor of a shopping plaza. The show opens with a short historical video about the land and people of Hawaii set in 1920, which sets the timeline for the rest of the performance. From start to finish, the show runs about 1 hour and 10 minutes—just the right length in my opinion.

3. Show highlights
The pacing starts off a bit slow with traditional hula dancers and singers, then really picks up steam once the show moves into the 1950s. The Elvis segment is the longest and most prominent, and honestly, the performer is impressively spot-on in both voice and movement, covering several of Elvis’s biggest hits.

From there, the show transitions into tributes to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, his dance moves really get the audience excited with high-energy dance numbers. You’ll also see nods to familiar cultural touchstones like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Moana, and finally, a dramatic flaming poi performance honoring the fire goddess.

The price was high, but the seats were in a central and easy-to-see location, which was very good. I was satisfied. I always use Beltora for options.

金額も高かったですが、席も中央で見やすい位置でとても良かったです。満足できました。いつもオプションはベルトラさんを使わせていただいてます。

The Cirque du Soleil performance "Awana" was amazing. I want to see it again. I'm always impressed by the high level of the performers.

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの公演『アウアナ』は素晴らしかったです。
また見に行きたいと思います。
パフォーマーのレベルの高さにはいつも感心しています。

I had a wonderful mini tour with our Japanese guide, Nana, who was kind and fun! The kids were thrilled with the gifts from Nana.

The buffet was at a level that I couldn't believe was the same as what I had ten years ago; it was so delicious that I felt like we didn't have enough time to enjoy the meal.

The evening show was the most impressive I've ever seen, with a spectacular fire dance that was a lot of fun. I felt it was worth more than the price we paid, and I was very satisfied.

日本人ガイドのナナさんの優しくて楽しいガイドで、ミニツアーを楽しみました！子どもたちはナナさんからのプレゼントで大興奮していました。
ブュッフェは10年前に食べたものと同じ内容とは思えないほどレベルが上がっており、食事時間が足りないと感じるほど美味しかったです。
イブニングショーは過去一番迫力があり、ファイヤーダンスも豪華で、とても楽しかったです。お値段以上と感じるほど大満足でした。

I watched from the front row. I participated last year as well, and the powerful show was amazing no matter how many times I see it. Since I was able to see it up close, I could also see the expressions on their faces, which was very nice.

最前列の席で観覧しました。昨年も参加しましたが、迫力のあるショーは何度見ても最高でした。
近くで観ることが出来たので、お顔の様子も観ることができて、とても良かったです。

I was moved by the fire dance! At the end, we were able to take photos, which became a nice memory. Since it's at the Hawaiian Center, the location is great, and I highly recommend it!

ファイヤーダンスに感動でした！
最後に写真撮影などもできて、記念になりました。ハワイアンセンターなので、立地もよく、オススメです！

The prologue was cool, and both the music and performances were really good; time seemed to fly by. Even though everything was in English, I could understand the atmosphere, and I was happy that the cast members smiled as they walked past the seats, showing consideration for the audience. ♪

プロローグからカッコよく、音楽も演技もとても良くて、時間はとても早く過ぎた感じでした。
全部英語ではあったけれど、雰囲気でわかるし、団員さん達が席の横を通って行く時にもニッコリしていってくれて、観客に気配りしてくれているのが嬉しかったです♪

I saw Cirque du Soleil for the first time.
All the performances were moving.
They were powerful, and I was able to watch with excitement and anticipation!
I definitely want to see it again!

初めてシルクドゥソレイユをみました。
全てのパフォーマンスが感動しました。
迫力があり、ワクワク、ドキドキしながら見ることができました！
また絶対に見たいです！

I signed up for the tour because I wanted to enjoy authentic hula. The hula dance and fire dance were spectacular and very impressive. In the impersonation show, there were performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and since I belong to the generation that grew up with Michael Jackson, it was great to enjoy both his songs and dance.

本場のフラが楽しめるということで、ツアーを申し込みしました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは圧巻でとても良かったです。
モノマネショーではエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんがパフォーマンスをされていて、特にマイケルジャクソンはドンピシャ世代なので、歌とダンスが楽しめて良かったです。

I have seen Cirque du Soleil performances all over the world, but this one truly respected the local culture and elevated it to an art form, which was amazing. I was initially worried about the small size of the venue, but once the show started, I realized that the scale was actually perfect.

I now have more plays that I absolutely recommend to anyone going to Hawaii, and I will definitely go see this one again when I visit.

The entrance can be a bit tricky to find at first, but you go up the escalator located in the small rotary next to the hotel, and then turn right, and you will see the entrance right away. Show your ticket to the staff standing there, then go up the escalator again to reach the doors in front of the venue.

They sell popcorn and drinks that you can enjoy during the performance.

I definitely plan to go again.

これまで世界中のシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユを見てきましたが、それらの中でもその土地の文化を尊重し、芸術として昇華させている感じが最高でした。会場規模が小さくて最初不安だったのですが、始まったらその規模が最高に良かったんだということを実感しました。

ハワイに行ったら必ず見に行くし、ハワイに行く人に絶対に勧める演劇というものが増えました。

入口は最初は少し分かりにくいのですが、ホテル脇の小さいロータリーにあるエスカレーターを上がって、右に曲がると直ぐにエントランスです。立っている係員にチケットを見せて、エスカレーターをさらに上がって会場前の扉まで行きましょう。

観劇中に食べることのできるポップコーンや飲み物はそこで売っています。

また必ず行こうと思います。

I watched from a center seat. The aisle side might be more enjoyable since the performers come over there. It's in English, but I can understand the content as well. The acrobatic performances are impressive and wonderful.

センター席で鑑賞。通路側は、キャスターが横に来てくれるので、もっと楽しめるかも。
英語ですが、内容も理解できます。アクロバット演技は見応えありですばらしいです。

The view from the second row was incredibly powerful. I was captivated by the performers' expressions. The staging was directed like a 3D movie, and I felt satisfied no matter where I looked. It felt like a fusion of musical and circus, with music and dance that evoked the spirit of Hawaii, stirring my emotions to the point of tears. I hope entertainment in Hawaii becomes more vibrant. I'm grateful for the opportunity to see 'Auwana' again; I definitely want to watch it once more!

前から2列目で迫力が凄かったです。演者さんの表情にも見とれてしまいました。舞台から3D映画のように演出されていてどこから見ても満足だと思いました。ミュージカルとサーカスが融合している感じでハワイを感じる音楽や踊りで感情が高ぶり涙が出ました。ハワイのエンタメが盛んになって欲しいです。又絶対観たいと思うアウアナに感謝！

I think the seats were good even within the same category. At first, I tried to make a reservation through the website, but it didn't go well, so I felt more comfortable making the reservation in Japanese after all. I feel like we waited quite a bit before entering the venue.

座席は、同じカテゴリーの中でも良い席だったと思います。
最初ホームページの方から予約しようとしましたが、上手くいかず、やっぱり日本語で予約する方が安心できます☆
会場に入るまでに、けっこう待った気がします。

The "O" and "Ka" shows in Las Vegas are nostalgic. They were wonderful performances that captured the essence of Hawaii. Both children and adults can enjoy them.

ラスベガスのオーとカーが懐かしい。
ハワイらしさの中にも素晴らしい演出でした。
こどもも大人も楽しめます。
