Ulelena

My Mother and I went to see Ulelena. This is a theatrical production and a MUST SEE! It was beautiful. I believe that the choreography was done by the same people who did Cirque Soleil. When I read about it I wondered how it would be because there is no talking during the show; the actors do not talk. But, it is not needed. They told the story of the beginning of Maui through actions and music, and it was FANTASTIC! My mother was concerned at first because a family with very young children sat down behind us and she thought that the children would be restless, loud, and create a distraction. Not so. The children were completely mesmerized within a couple of minutes of the beginning of the show. Never heard a peep from them! Ulelena depicts the true spirit of the Hawaiian Islands and of Maui in particular. It is a breathtaking experience to see and, surprisingly, had a very emotional impact on me. When we left we were unable to speak as most the audience was. Most people just smiled at each other, and nodded as tears strolled down their faces. I would definitely see this show again, and again, and again.

The Hawaiian culture is very interesting, the music is fantastic, but to be honest, I was disappointed by the show. They market it as a Cirque de Soleil type of performance. In reality, there are two minor performances of this type and the rest is just a Hawaiian Musical. The theater is very comfortable and cool, but I personally don't think it's worth the money. If you do go, get the cheapest seats. Every seat is a good seat, despite what they might tell you.

This is a kind of performance art show. It's put on by the same people who do Cirque and, in some ways, it's similar. Basically, it's the story of Maui using a combination of myths and history. The music was fabulous and the performance wonderful.

I really enjoyed this, but my friends were a bit bored. Give it a shot if you get the chance.
