Past and present intertwine with every Rock-A-Hula performance at the 750-seat Royal Hawaiian Theater. While archived concert footage plays on the stage's sprawling video screens, dedicated tribute artists deliver passionate performances as musical superstars ranging from Elvis Presley to Lady Gaga. Live bands and backup dancers turn each song into an even more dynamic production as the tribute artists disappear into their roles, mirroring the vocal styles, dance steps, and stage presence that defined each legendary icon. In addition to these homages, Rock-A-Hula also includes locally grounded performances. Traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian music gets toes tapping, hula dancing causes hips to unconsciously sway, and fire knife dances gently remind audience members that everyone can be tourist once in a while. The venue also offers discounted parking with validation.
