Critic's Review ~
Creation
- A Polynesian Journey South Seas Adventure and Dinner Show
Review
by Donna Manz of Alohajoe Radio (www.alohajoe.com)
You've done it all in Waikiki………..you
sunned, you surfed, you luau-ed until Kalua pig is appearing in
your dreams……….you learned the words to The Hukilau Song and the
family is garbed in aloha wear
………. But wait! Don't hang up that credit card yet….. Creation
- A Polynesian Journey is beyond
"been there, done that". Myth and magic spirit you away to the
Polynesia of ancient and modern times
as stunning special effects and illusion enhance this musical
excursion to the exotic islands of the
South Pacific. Elaborately costumed performers represent the music
and dance of Hawai`i, Samoa,
Fiji, Tahiti, the Marquesa islands and New Zealand, climaxed by
the spectacular Samoan fire knife dance.
Each time I visit this show, there's something new about it. Creation
- A Polynesian Journey is a
multi-media extravaganza and is lots of fun. Crashing through
the showroom's darkened stillness,
explosive volcanic eruptions give birth to the islands of the
South Seas. As Polynesian man and woman
are created, the journey begins. The mythical voyage through time
and place is narrated by a traditional
Hawaiian storyteller and through him the Polynesian migrations
are brought to life with traditional music,
mesmerizing special effects and colorful props. The good looking
cast of accomplished dancers and
musicians celebrates the cultural diversity of the Polynesian
triangle. From the pulsating Tahitian otea
to the fluid Hawaiian hula, from the dexterity of the spinning
poi ball routine to the pounding Samoan sasa,
comely young women evoke the sensual beauty of the South Pacific
islands. Strong warriors perform
the powerful New Zealand Maori haka and the fierce Fijian war
dance, wielding war clubs in depiction
of battle.
The Polynesian journey continues to modern times as boatloads
of tourists arrived in Hawai`i
during the romanticized first half of the 20th century. Creation
- A Polynesian Journey sings and dances
a tribute to the legendary Waikiki beach boys and the surfer era.
With statehood came rock 'n' roll,
Elvis and a love affair with the islands. The romance of the South
Seas is never far away and the
audience plays guest at a native wedding as the familiar melody
of the Hawaiian Wedding Song graces
the setting. That song is a Hawai`i standard and for those who
have watched the wedding scene in Elvis
Presley's "Blue Hawai`i", imagining Elvis crooning to Maile comes
readily. The segments are intertwined
with dramatic narration and magical illusion, not at all at odds
with the magic the South Seas inspire.
Creation sets the scene with a themed storyline and life-sized
props. At home in the Sheraton Princess
Ka`iulani Hotel's Ainahau Showroom, Creation - A Polynesian Journey
is offered in conjunction with
either dinner or cocktail seating. The show is presented five
nights a week, on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Dinner buffet includes prime rib, Hawaiian-style
baked chicken, mahimahi,
Hawaiian curry stew, Asian noodles and other hot entrees. An assortment
of sushi and salad complements
the hot food. Dessert and a tropical drink are included.
