Hawaii Theatre Center

Love the intimacy of the Hawaii theater. Will get different seats next time - row b was too close. Still thoroughly enjoyed "Heaven Forbid". A cute show about the later years in life well played by Patty Duke and local Joe Moore.

What is there really to say about this place.  How can you not fall in love with the history and nostalgia.  It's often overlooked but The Historic Hawaii Theatre is such a beautiful venue for concerts, plays, etc.  My friend and I enjoyed a locally produced play here the other night... what a treat! Sure NY has Broadway, but we have the Hawaii Theatre, and all of its nostalgia, right in the heart of downtown Honolulu.

Sorry to have to write this review...Went to see Heaven Forbid! tonite....it is supposed to be a comedy about old folks....I'm kind of an old folk, but found it really boring.....I thought the humor was really dull and trivial...
Joe Moore is a local favorite and Patty Duke is a classic...but unfortunately I didn't find the script funny or exciting.  My favorite character was Maggie, assistant to the manager of the retirement home.  She was really cute and reminded me of Diane Keaton.
I thought the script was full of complaining sarcasm, which I don't find entertaining....I guess some people do...there was some laughter.
You can take your chances and see if you like it....
