    Come From Away is a must see! It's a true story based on the events of 9/11 that took place in a small town, Gander, New Foundland where planes were diverted after the world Trade Center was attacked. The story is one of goodness and it left me in tears. Love, love, loved it.

    Went to see the SpongeBob musical and it was beyond fun, cute, and colorful. Imaginative costumes creating jellyfish and sardine characters. Courteous ushers. Practical and essential snack bar which carries diamond head theater reusable bags featuring the play season headliners in the design. Can't wait for the 2026 season. My cat loves to get in the bag. Ample free parking. Still a wonderful gem for entertainment. Great value for the incredible talent.

    Squeezed in a visit to Arendelle during my Hawaii trip -- Frozen the Musical, that is! I believe this was a local community production, but done so well! Didn't feel like an amateur or youth production, very professional, even the sets/costumes. Strong cast, singing on point. The venue was very nice! Comfortable seating, easy to purchase and decently-priced tickets online, great acoustics. Parking lot right across the street, and even a great view of the Waikiki skyline at night! The performance itself was very very good, especially the leads playing Elsa and Anna. Didn't purchase any concessions, but for this show they also had light-up snowflake wands for the kiddos to light up at a certain moment at the end of the show. Cute!

    Frozen... Currently running from July 26th to August 25th is Dinsney's Frozen the Musical and at the last moment I got a chance to experience it all with the flair that I could never imagine. As I got the notice of an extra ticket I literally flew at the chance to see Frozen and who wouldn't as it was an honor to even be though feeling so grateful and humble I was basically speechless for this opportunity. Tonight was hosted by First Hawaiian Bank and I was so impressed with the selection of activities as there was photo booth, food, drinks and even shaved ice (of course!) along with Elsa and Anna who was amazing and stunning with us all, the vibe was a bright and festive with the theme as I enjoyed my "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" drink swirling my rock candy keeping things cool. The play was just wonderful the performers along with the theater staff who notify in a fun and polite way of the time we had before the show starts it was certainly the night to remember as I never experience anything like it. Thank you for my invite I'm so thankful and enjoyed the night very much, time spent with quality is certainly well worth the value. Remember to support the local artist along with Diamond Head Theatre who knows how to put on a show and more...bravo! Thank you!

    Diamond head Theater has improved a lot from the previous years with their new Theater. The seating is much better and more comfortable and the walk space to get in and out is wider. The restrooms are way more rooming with more stalls and sinks compared to the old building they had which the lines for the restrooms were backed up with long lines. The line of plays get better every year and fills up very fast. Wheelchair accessible

    3-25-23 little sweetie's drama class presented what they learned on stage . The theme was a two person dialogue so each student was paired with a classmate. Only one pait had scripts in hand while the rest did a good to excellent job of memorizing lines and stage presence to be heard. The theatre holds several rows of seats. The theater is new with only 2 performances held. Do you believe all theaters are haunted?

    Love, love, love this newly-renovated venue! The auditorium is so light & spacious and clean, and seating has ample keg room for those of us with long legs. We saw "Mama Mia" last night and simply enjoyed every, single minute of it. You could tell the performers really enjoyed what they were doing so it translated into a very happy audience who could sing along to their favorite ABBA songs. The singers voices were awesome, especially Alison Aldcroft, who played the bride's mom. If you haven't been to this lovely space yet, find yourself an upcoming performance you'd like to see and check it out for yourself.

    Aloha, the newly redone DHT is beautiful. Great stage, sets and comfy seats. There truly is not a bad seat in the house. Nice lanai on the lee side of the theater to avoid wind and rain. Great access to nice clean restrooms and a nice cafe for a drink or snack. We saw My Fair Lady, great timeless musical. Easy handicap access. Awesome venue. Make your way to your favorite play or musical. Enjoy!

    This was our first time at the Diamond Head Theatre and we're already excited for the next show! I never saw their old theater, but the new one completed in January 2023 is gorgeous. I definitely see why they're known as "The Broadway of the Pacific". And for such a fair price, too! The staff were all so friendly and helpful, offering a true serving of the aloha spirit. You can tell everyone is happy to be there! We didn't get any food or drink this time, but from what we saw, their menu offers a lot for both young and old! Also, their sipping cups allow you to enjoy an adult beverage without worrying that you'll spill and mess up the aisles.

    New Theater, coming up.

    Diamond Head Theater has been a part of the Kaimuki community for many, many a year. What started out as a military theater for the Fort Ruger complex, it has been a long time location for Honolulu's performing arts, our community theater location. Quaint, intimate, cramped- the theater has been the home to popular plays, musicals and a host of other performing arts productions. Along the walls you have posters from past productions which give you a view of the rich tapestry of what has been available over the years. One can only imagine the enjoyment patrons have had watching classic musicals like South Pacific or more contemporary productions like Elf. In fact, the theater has just opened up (12/2021) again and their first production is Elf- perfect for the holidays. The big news is a new theater is in the making and anyone passing by the area can see it being constructed just mauka of the existing theater. It looks much larger than the current theater so it will be exciting to see what it has to offer. Support your local theater- Diamond Head theater could be considered the heart of the Kaimuki performing arts community.

    Free parking!

    Live performances in Honolulu, Hawaii... My appreciation for the theater stems from high school days. We had a teacher named Mrs. Sandla who incorporated attending plays into our school curriculum. She was one of my favorite teachers and I thank her for making me a better, more well-rounded person. I can't really remember which productions I saw in those days. Later on, I brought my mom to see musicals such as "Carousel" and "Oklahoma" here. We really enjoyed the cast, props, costumes, free parking, and overall experience! Recently, I saw a Facebook posting in regards to the renovation of Diamond Head Theater. There was a sign up for the public to take plants and plant cuttings before they all got destroyed. I brought some tools and dug up some Irises and cut some plumeria, jade, and bougainvillea! My mom is like an interior designer for her garden... the plants all went to a good home! If you don't want to sign up for some plants (bromeliads, bird of paradise, and cactus are also available), you might be interested in renting a costume or two for Halloween! I haven't done it myself, but I heard that it's a great deal! Contact the theater for more information and future performance schedules! #supportlocal #support808 #bevocalsupportlocal

    This is Hawaii's oldest performing-arts center that started in 1915. It was built by the army as a USO movie theater and then converted to a stage venue, for classic Broadway musicals & plays. It reminds me of the Shubert theater in New Haven. These small venues were a great way to see.fantastic live entertainment before or after it hit Broadway. They are now in the process of building a new theater that will open in fall of 2022. The Theater did not have any character, so I could see why they did not try to renovate it. There was two parking lots, so there was plenty of parking. I will give this 5 stars because they are going to replace it in 2022 and they have a number of great classic shows for their upcoming season. They were well organized and very Covid19 safe. Saw A Chorus Line, this has been sold out for all dates for a while and happy my daughter got tickets early. The show was not Broadway caliber, however for the price , it was well worth it.

Not sure what's her name, but she was an older Caucasian lady. They were there for about 3 hours or so and never once did I see a line to get a balloon. Probably because 1 of many reasons.... 1. I witnessed one of my nephews trying to get a balloon and he had to explain to the lady why he was getting another one. **he should not have to explain to the lady why he needs another balloon. The balloons are unlimited for 3 hours! There wasn't a line. The lady was just sitting there. 2. My friend told me that she had to help my other 5 year old nephew get a balloon because the balloon twister refused to help him since she was unable to make the balloon he wanted. She just so happened to be next to the vendor and heard her tell him to "go get your mommy". Instead of showing him the balloon folder of what she could make, she just refused to make him a balloon. My friend went over to help him pick one from the folder of pictures . **I don't understand why she couldn't just show him the balloon folder to begin with... maybe she just didn't want to deal with him. AGAIN, there was no line. ** 3. My daughter has a whole lot to say about the balloon lady. She kept saying how rude she was... In all honesty, I wasn't going to write a review about the rude balloon twister, but my daughter randomly brought it up again after 1 month. She said "remember that balloon twister lady... she said multiple times that she needs to save her balloons because she has other parties to go to"... **again, THERE WAS NEVER A LINE.
