Also on Kalakaua Avenue is the still-sizzling Polynesian revue “Creation—APolynesian
Odyssey” in the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani 's second-floor Ainahau Showroom ( & 808/
931-4660; www.princess-kaiulani.com/dining/creation ) . Produced by Tihati (pronounced
tea-hot-tea), the state's largest entertainment company, the show is a theatrical journey of fire
dancing, special effects, illusions, hula, and Polynesian dances from Hawaii and the South Pa-
cific. Dinner shows are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and cost $95 to $145
adults and $72 to $109 for children 5 to 12 years; show only is $55 adults, $42 children.
The best in comedy is AndyBumatai, who performs local stand-up sketches that will have
you not only understanding local residents, but also screaming with laughter. Another excel-
lent comic is FrankDelima. If he's playing anywhere on Oahu, it's worth the drive to see this
comic genius, who sings, dances, and performs comic routines that will have you laughing
until your sides hurt.
Luau!
The sun is setting, the tiki torches are lit, the pig is taken from the imu (an oven in the earth),
the drums begin pounding—it's luau time. Recently, three new luau have started: in Waikiki,
on the North Shore, and in windward Oahu at Sea Life Park. Regrettably, there's no commer-
cial luau on Oahu that comes close to Maui's Old Lahaina Luau, or Hawaii Island's legendary
Kona Village Luau. In Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, 2259 Kalakaua Ave., at Seaside
Ave. ( & 888/808-4668; www.honuhawaiiactivities.com ) , holds Waikiki's only oceanfront luau.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a Hawaiian flower lei and a refreshing drink, followed by
a feast: a variety of traditional Hawaiian as well as continental American dishes. The buffet
menu features delicacies such as roasted kalua pig, mahimahi, teriyaki steak, poi, sweet pota-
toes, rice, vegetables, haupia (coconut pudding), and a selection of delicious cakes. It all ends
with the Royal Polynesian Extravaganza, which features songs and dances from Hawaii and
other Polynesian island nations. Luau is Monday at 5:30pm; the cost is $155 adults and $80 for
children (ages 5-12).
