Hello, We saw this wonderful show on Thursday, 10/16, and we LOVED this show. We are from NJ and have seen numerous Broadway shows, and this show was Broadway caliber when it came to the performance level of both the musicians and cast. The sets were simple but lovely. Folks compare this show to Cirque, but really they should compare... more

After coming to the island for the past 10 years and never doing anything but snorkel etc., we thought we should finally see this show that we've always heard about. Went last night and I must say I was a little disappointed. The first thing I must say is this in NOT on the level of Cirque as some say...however... more

We have seen several Cirque shows so we weren't impressed by this show. There was no story and very little spoken words. There were chants and such in native tongue. The stage with moving sections was kind of cool. We saw 2 other luaus before this show and enjoyed both of them better. I would tell friends to skip it... more

U’ lalena Lahaina Maui This is a fabulous show! Cirque quality. Great music, excellent performances. There’s not a bad seat in the house. If you sit on the left side, you have a better view of the musicians on the right. The tickets which offer a discussion with the performers after the show are a great deal; they’re delightful people,... more

Took my family to see Ulalena last night. This cirque-style show eminates the history, music and dance of the Hawaiian culture. It is a perfect choice for nighttime entertainment for every family member, babies to grandparents. more

I'm from Oahu and stayed in Maui for 3 days. Due to many good reviews, I had to see Ulalena. I concluded that there is no show like Ulalena in Hawaii. BEGINNING - The show started off big and the crowd had its "oohs" and "ahhs" and the heavy live percussion gave me goosebumps. MIDDLE - To obtain a true... more

Visually disturbing, mind numbing, plot-less, and all the great acting of a horrible soap opera (is there such thing as a good one?). If anyone tells you the dancers are trained by "cirque du soleil," do not even believe it for one second. Pretty much ruined the evening watching this terrible excuse for a show. It was strongly recommended by... more

Overall, our family of 3 enjoyed our experience at the Ulalena theater. The cast did a nice job, and the small band did a GREAT job with the music. However, I sort of left the show somewhat feeling lacking in terms of expectations. Perhaps that's due to the major hype you hear on the Island about this show. It does... more

I have just come back from seeing this show for the 5 th time. The first time we saw it in 2004 it was just wonderful. It was very evocative and give a very strong message. The next two times (both in 2005) was also very good. 2006 was not quite as good but OK. This time, 2008, it lacked... more
