HAWAII (July 5, 2023) – The White Hawaiian, starring Eric Gilliom, announces a new weekly showcase at Anaina Hou’s Porter Pavillion on Kaua’i this summer. A private community screening is scheduled for May and will be followed by weekly performances on Thursdays beginning July 20, 2023. Packed with non-stop laughs, this witty one-man theatrical performance keeps audiences engaged from the start. The White Hawaiian has quickly become a hit show on Maui and it’s soon to become a hit on Kaua’i!

The White Hawaiian was written by Eric Gilliom and Brian Kohne from the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning band Barefoot Natives and the movie Get a Job. The Maui News says that “If they ever invented a Hoku for musical theater, Gilliom would win it hands down.”

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.”

Maui News

“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.”
