    The show!
    Diane W.

    Totally lucked out because we were visiting while Anthony Pluke was performing here. ( Saw him on the Mainland back in 2018!) The Playhouse is a gem--intimate setting with incredible acoustics. Reasonable pricing and looks like a super lineup of events. Warm and welcoming staff too!

    Concert with Amy Hanaiali
    Brian S.

    Amy Hanaiali i it's a premier singer and songwriter who provides a rich cabaret show experience with a single guitarist as an accompanist. It was an enjoyable 90 minute show with some multimedia thrown in discussion about Hawaiian culture and history. The location is very good. Felt intimate sound system is strong. I only wish there was a piano player and a drummer, but I totally enjoyed the show.

    The "Stevens"! Great folk rock !

    Greatest small venue to see performing arts in Kihei. Maui! Always a variety of entertainment showcasing the amazing musical and dramatic artists of Maui.

    Kenny Blue & Jay Molina

    What an amazing evening! Absolutely THE BEST Venue on MauI , perhaps the state. This is THE place to see live music and theatre. Thank you for being here.

The venue is beautiful and have plenty of space. We were seated towards the back so it a bit more difficult to pay attention and hear. The show was decent but it didn't start until later and it was paced out pretty slow. The whole event seems to be longer than needed.. from 4:30-8ish but it was nice to experience sunset here. Food was actually decent. A lot of places are ayce but this was family-style. Service was great and they kept refilling our food to make sure we're never empty. The short ribs were the best. Poke was good and simple, fish was a bit dry, salad was refreshing, but fruits were surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be in Maui. It's also aycd at the bar but the cocktails were very sweet. I learned to just order shots. They also have coffee and tea available. They had a cool tattoo and cute flower station too. Cool place to check out!

The ahí poke was my favorite, but they had beef, chicken, pork, fish, veggies galore, Ube bread, a wide variety of desserts, some delicious appetizers, and the list goes on! Our entire table was so happy with this luau--they really do it right!! I recommend getting the standard package since it's close enough and using free self parking versus the valet. 10/10 recommend! I will be back if I have more visitors.

And the group did a great job last night in a in about a 90 minute set, they went through six or seven exercises where the audiences help them provide the basis for their improv skits. The six actors all have gifts Christy is an excellent physical comedian. She uses her body to make a wide range of comic movements that just make you laugh. Matt Brass who's been with the troop a very long time has strong, verb verbal and visual skills. He is also the keeper of the hats and if you actually go to the show, you'll know what I mean. Jauhn who I know is an electrician by day and actor by night projector range of characters. The three other members of the come off passionately, and all of them think well on their feet . As I said, at the beginning, I have not seen them perform in about three years but they have definitely gotten better and would be competitive in French festivals in Canada or improv festivals that go on throughout the United States. This show is PG but they do have more adult shows which I went to in the past. Both will make you laugh.

    This was not a traditional luau that you're probably used to. Upon arriving, we thought we had to…read morebe at the wrong place because the intimate setting/venue is a golf course clubhouse turned into a very small seating area and a super TINY stage that fits at most 6 dancers. The stage being so small, it was difficult for those in the back to watch comfortably without twisting and turning to catch the few dancers on stage. My back is literally hurting right now after watching only an hour of the show earlier tonight. For the amount of money paid for a family of 5, this was a joke. This luau is NOT worth the price paid. For a couple hundred more, we could have booked a much more authentic luau on the beach. The descriptions I found of this place only shows the close up pictures of the dancers on stage which make it seem they are at an entirely different venue. The "amazing" sunset views are obstructed by trees and you constantly see the parking lot. The pictures make it seem like it's near the beach but is it quite far on the top of a hill surrounded by a road and parking lot. This is a joke venue. It seems the owner literally paid the golf club a venue fee and then charged an arm and a leg to guests and made a killing. The dancers were the same 5 or 6 over and over just different costumes. The ONLY good is the food, free drinks and shell lei. All of that is not worth the money we paid though. I highly do not recommend this luau unless they lower the prices. I know Maui is bouncing back but charging that much is ridiculous

    The food was not great. They also ran out of certain items ( is that possible for a Luau)? And some…read moreitems that were on the original menu were not even served? If we are paying hundreds of dollars for this Luau, shouldn't our expectations be met? And for those people who are at the end of line able to get the same experience as the front? Also, the seating for the show was not set up exceptionally well. Been to other Luaus where the show was seen from all areas. Find another Luau to spend your money on. The fire dancing was probably the best part because people were able to move to see it and the MC for the show was good. Also people kept standing up, so people in the back couldn't see and customers had to ask the workers to assist with having them sit down.

    5 stars because my expectations were exceeded. I was nervous due to the poor yelp reviews but in…read morethe end, it was a good experience. The food was pretty good! I was comparing the buffet to another luau I attended in Oahu and I enjoyed this one a lot more. My favorites were the lomi lomi salmon, the fresh pineapple, and the Mac salad. The desserts could have been better--definitely Costco dessert--but overall food was good. They open the buffet as soon as you're seated and close it at 6:30 pm. Getting there early doesn't mean you will be seated first. After checking in, you are handed a card with the number of people in your party (save this for when you're seated) and at 5 pm , you are allowed to enter in an order determined by the color of your card. We were in the last group and got decent seating (it is all pretty close to the stage). Now for the performance--the dancers did great; my personal favorite were the Tahitian dances and the fire performance. The stage is small and overlooks the golf course. Though this luau is a bit more on the affordable side compared to other options, it was still a good experience.

    Overall thought it was really fun and good…read more Seats are great, it's very intimate and all seats are close to the small stage. Food was not gourmet, but it was pretty outstanding for a typical buffet and there was mahi, chicken, and pork, along with sides and several dessert options. Everything was really tasty, and plenty of food to get seconds or even thirds. Our server even proactively asked if we wanted more beverages several times. The dancers were really, really, good and there was also a fire stunt guy. The emcee of the event was funny and so uplifting. The live musicians and singers were also great. Honestly I don't have any complaints aside from as someone mentioned below for some reason they give you like weeds made into a lei at the beginning instead of flowers then try to get you to buy real leis with flowers for an extra charge.

The first showing impressed me so much I had to go again! Micheal (Kekoa), brings such a special brand of charisma as does the rest of the staff (whom usually alternate). This really brought back my appreciate for magic. The best part is that this is close up magic, so you get a very intimate feel and see things as close as possible. As with all magic shows there is a bit of story you have to buy into, but that's the beauty of it all, is to give that feeling and belief that something can happen. This show and staff really captures all those in the most entertaining and hilarious way possible. Thank you again Kekoa and staff, next time I'm in Hawaii I will surely find any excuse to visit.

    If you're looking for something new and different for a fun night, date night, or an alternative to…read morethe movies, I would definitely recommend this show. My hubby and I have been together for more than 30 years so this has been a great new date night option. We have been to 2 of these shows, different magicians, and left thinking both times, "how did he do that?" We've been to the big Vegas Shows but this was like sitting in a cozy living room with a group of friends while watching everything close up. You would be extra lucky if there are children in the group because they add to the "Wow!" factor. The magicians are top notch and do a fantastic job engaging the audience and adding their own humor to their delivery. Last night we were lucky enough to attend Shoot Ogawa's last show (for now. He made everything look so simple, natural, some were old slight of hand but still left us scratching our heads. We understand that he is going to be back in a couple of weeks). If you share your email address, they also provide you discount coupons to attend another show, no strings attached. They said that they rotate through the top 20 international parlor magicians. Even the most skeptical audience members left with smiles on their faces. The magicians also stick around at the end to pose for pictures with people from the audience. We also received a complimentary drink and free validated parking. I would recommend following the instructions on the confirmation to be there early. They take people in by groups. The staff members are super friendly and funny. They take you into a small room with a bunch of neat stuff that make you ask, "is that for real?" The first group will get first choice seating. Sit in the middle for the best view and get ready for a no - low tech night of old fashioned entertainment.
