HTC MOVIE MADNESS! Series presents
Have you ever been to a film musical and had the uncontrollable urge to burst into song? Ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a T-bird or a Pink Lady but never quite felt cool enough to pull it off? Well, now is your chance to don those pink jackets, grease up those quiffs and let your inhibitions go for an evening where you are the stars. And remember GREASE is the word… The evening begins with your Sing-a-long-a Grease host leading a vocal warm-up before they show you how to use your free goody bag during the film and suggest some appropriate heckles and accompanying actions. Then just sit back and watch Danny & Sandy and the gang, while singing (and dancing) along to the lyrics on the screen. It couldn’t be easier… or more fun! The first rule of Sing-a-long-a is THERE ARE NO RULES! Fancy dress is strongly encouraged and full audience participation essential.
Hawaii Theatre Education Program presents
The 2013 – 2014 Hawaii Theatre Student Matinee Series, in collaboration with Ōhi‘a Productions, presents Lisa Matsumoto’s I Wish...Wishing Tales From Around the World with music & lyrics by Roslyn Catracchia. Youngsters will be enchanted by a magical golden carp in The Wishing Fish, a tale from China; a foolish man and wife in The Ridiculous Wishes, from Hungary; and an unappreciative workman in The Stonecutter, from India. Colorful characters, delightful music and puppetry use comedy to offer a valuable life lesson: Be careful what you wish for!
Sonny Silva and Hulaville Events present
John Pizzarelli is the son of the renowned guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli - is one of the greatest of jazz guitarists today. Yet, in addition to being a fabulous musician and bandleader, Mr. Pizzarelli is gifted with incredibly spot on vocals that at once both dreamily croon and deliriously swing. He is credited with reinvigorating the Great American Songbook. He is a crafty entertainer, showman and raconteur. Always in good humor and high-style, this show will be elegant and uptown. He is bringing in his quartet featuring John Pizzarelli on Guitar, Martin Pizzarelli on Bass, Larry Fuller on Piano, and Tony Tedesco on Drums. Hot Club of Hulaville's music has direct origins from the gypsy virtuosos who played the Parisian dance halls, bistros, and cafés of the 30's and 40's. These musicians took American Dixieland Jazz and Swing, blended it with European Tangos and the dance hall Musettes of the day, creating a formidable musical concoction that became the World Music of its time.
Hawaii Theatre Center and Hawaii Opera Theatre's Opera Express present
Hilarious confusion follows the noble Nanki-Poo as he disguises himself as a “wand’ring minstrel” and flees the Japanese court to avoid the lovelorn Katisha. Things only get more complicated when he falls in love with Yum-Yum, the most beautiful of the “three little maids from school.” Gilbert’s clever dialogue and Sullivan’s catchy melodies make for a child-friendly introduction to opera. Students also participate in the opera!
