CocoTiki Presents: The Rock-A-Hula Revue!

CocoTiki presents "The Rock-A-Hula Revue!:" a dazzling spectacle inspired by the nostalgic music, culture, and dances of 1950's/60's Polynesia...with a modern twist! This never before seen theatrical experience blends a classic luau style show with Rockabilly music, tiki and pinup culture, Polynesian with Jazz/cabaret dance, audience interaction, and more special surprises! Awe-inspiring dances provided by the beautiful CocoTiki dancers, accompanied by rockin' live Hulabilly music with The Kū Daddies, delectable tiki drinks made with organic spirits as well as a special tropical themed gourmet vegan menu by Âu Lac, and so much more!

All of this tropical goodness will take place in a beautiful and intimate space inside the amazing "Âu Lac" restaurant. We transform the room into a lush exotic paradise complete with tiki, exotica music, foliage, and the like. Becuase of the room's intimate aspect, seating is very limited so please reserve your seats today! Mahalo and Aloooha!
