MAUI, HI (February 23, 2022) – The White Hawaiian, starring Eric Gilliom, announces a monthly showcase at ProArts Playhouse in 2023. White Hawaiian has quickly become a hit show to see while on Maui!

Maui’s Curtain Call
“Mr. Gilliom gives everything he’s got every moment he is on the stage. There is an old saying about when a performer is totally committed to their material, they say, “he left it on the stage.” Well, Mr. Gilliom not only leaves it on the stage but everywhere else in the house. His singing, acting, and material are totally terrific, and this is a marvelous show you will probably want to see several times. Every time a visitor comes, White Hawaiian, Coconuts Don’t Fall Far from the Tree will take its place with the sunrise on Haleakalā and the Road to Hana as a must-do event while on Maui. It’s that good.”

“Based on the foundation of a multigenerational family tribute, White Hawaiian embraces a dizzying array of comedic caricatures, Chaplin-esque slapstick, moving drama, multiple hit musical highlights, and non-stop laugh-out-loud moments, along with some Hawaiian cultural history. All wrapped up with a knockout performance by its star.”
