sakarablackwell — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 03:31:10 +0000

Return to Waikīkī – A Lū’au and Cocktail Show

Just steps from most hotels in Waikīkī, this lū’au set under the canopies of banyan and palms trees in the heart of Waikīkī will take you back to the spirit of the grand lū’aus and entertainment of the 1940s and 1950s. Master slack key guitarist Makana showcases traditional and contemporary Hawaiian entertainment in a sophisticated production that pays tribute to Waikīkī’s past and present.

The outdoor facility sits over 300 people for a dinner buffet show from 6:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Dinner and show tickets range from $95 to $125 per person. Children 4-11 are $55 and children 3 and under are free.

In addition, there is a cocktail show from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. following the lū’au where many Hawaiian entertainers from other shows may stop by to jam the night away. No cover and two drink minimum.

International Marketplace, Waikīkī Beach

There was a time in Waikiki, not so long ago, when palm trees outnumbered hotels, when wooden surfboards outshined fiberglass and statues were still living legends. Life was simpler, slower, but people still knew how to have a good time. A few drinks, a guitar, much aloha and strangers became family under the shade of a banyan tree.

Are those days gone for good?

Maybe not.

Soon you’ll have the chance to reclaim the Aloha that’s been put on the back burner to tour busses and Kalakaua Avenue’s new façade.

Think back to the days when Waikiki was the epitome of paradise.

A powerful pocket of energy attracted thousands of visitors to Oahu last weekend.

Martin Graham and his girlfriend, Eleanor Morris, visiting from Birmingham, England, snapped photos of the Byodo-In temple, where Sun and Jin got married in the show.

In essence, the large tribe of fans dubbed Losties came home to the place their favorite TV drama is filmed, and to celebrate the cast and crew at an event so large that even those honored were taken aback by the attention.

While obsessive fans were able to get an advance peek of the first half of tonight’s two-hour premiere on ABC (see review, Page 32) Saturday night at Waikiki Beach, a special group of Losties was able to extend their visit with an aloha dinner Friday night and an extended tour of Oahu show locations Sunday.

All of this was spearheaded by Ryan and Jen Ozawa, ueber-fans who host a popular podcast called “The Transmission” which attracts listeners from all over the world, some of whom flew in for the advance screening that kicked off the show’s last season.

At Friday’s dinner, Ryan and Jen received enthusiastic applause for their efforts. About a hundred gathered poolside at the Park Shore Waikiki across the street from the Sunset on the Beach viewing. Coordinator Sakara Blackwell had arranged a Hawaiian dinner buffet and entertainment by dancers from Ia Ora o Tahiti Nui.
