The buffet was lovely. The show was great! Wonderful singers (esp. Cindy Jackson/Nellie). Henry Curtis was superb on the piano! The featured hula dancer was amazing! Charming, great costumes, great meal! Highly recommend.

We were delighted in finding this dinner show when we were planning our trip to Kauai. It did not disappoint! The buffet dinner was plentiful and excellent, and the performance of this wonderful musical classic was great! Bring a light jacket, sweater, or shawl for the evening, as the performance is indoors with air conditioning!

Well done show, OK dinner. Long wait to get in. A photo of your party is available for purchase. The cast, staging and overall performance were much better than most communities of ~60,000 could mount. A good value. It was my 14-year old granddaughter's first chance to see a live musical. She really enjoyed it despite WWII being ancient history... More

After reading the mixed reviews, we were in 2 minds whether to go to this attraction, however, we had a most enjoyable night, We did spend the extra $'s for premium seats, which was definitely money well spent. It's a unique Kauai experience.

My wife and I went to this only because we won a buy one get one free voucher. Had we paid full price we'd really have been disappointed. For the upside: they had complimentary valet service. From there it's downhill. You wait in a long line to get in. As you get close to the doors you'll find two cash... More

Billed as a Broadway style show....this is what gives Community Theatre a bad reputation. The Emil could not hold a note to save his life and “Some Enchanted Evening” became a wish instead of a seductive desire. Nellie forgot the words to "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair". The supporting characters were overacted and it did not... More

A great show done by local residents - food is a buffet with chicken and fish, o.k. At best - a little pricey for the quality, but you are in Hawaii go for the show not the dinner.

This famous story takes place on Kauai and is World War 2 era (which may partly explain the near absence of young people in the audience!). The entire cast are good singers. The food (this is a dinner theater) is good but not special. The price is expensive (this is the Hawaiian islands, after all), and if you go you'd... More

If your free for a nite, see this show. Come a little early to get a good seat. The singing is good and the story is enjoyable. The food was good, too. Overall, I had a fun night.

Amateur hour doesn't begin to describe it. Have seen better high school plays. NONE of the cast had great voices-- both leads were crackly & failed to hit notes on every song. Poor audio, poor visibility, crammed with senior citizens off tour buses. This was like a really bad cruise ship experience. The food was a long wait in a... More
