Once upon a Maui time, evening entertainment meant luaus and dinner cruises. Not anymore. Today, Maui offers highly artistic shows and theatre presentations. However, the top Maui shows below will not only bring you to a high artistic level; they also bring you to a deep appreciation of Maui's colorful past by combining modern art with Maui history, legend, myths, and culture.
Kupanaha
One of the most reknown Maui show is Kupanaha, a dinner show that combines spellbinding illusions and magic, hula, Polynesian dance, and chant in order to weave Hawaiian myth and history. The show is a family performance of the famed Baran family in collaboration with the award-winning Kanoeau Dance Academy. The Baran family includes the award-winning illusionist Jody Baran, his wife Kathleen, and their daughters. Kupanaha is 2 ½ hours long, and is held weekly from Tuesday through Saturday at Kaapanali Beach Hotel's Kanahele Room Theatre.
Part of the show is a three-course dinner. There are no illusions when it comes to food here--- the scrumptious appetizer, entrée, and dessert are all for real. Menu includes Grilled Jumbo Garlic Shrimp, pork egg rolls, tofu, and pineapple cheesecake. There's a different menu for kids, which include hamburgers, cheese fries, and vanilla ice cream. There's also an open Lava Bar which churn out magical concoctions such as their Flashing Mojito.
Ulalena
In West Maui is the island's biggest show, the Ulalena. Ulalena provides ultimate theatrical experience with its state-of-the-art venue, 8-channel surround sound, original music and amazing choreography, talented casts, and traditional Hawaiian chant and dance. Rich costumes, acrobatics, stage design, and lightning are all wonderfully blended to bring Hawaiian legend and history to modern audience. This musical extravaganza explores relationships between people, nature, mythology, and history. If you want to see the show, you have to make reservations in advance. The show is 75 minutes long, and is held at the Maui Myth and Magic Theatre located at 878 Front Street.
