Today we had the opportunity to talk story with Brian Brigner, the CEO of Legends in Concert. While we haven’t seen the show yet, I’m pretty confident from this interview that this production will deliver.
Brian has an interesting background. He’s done pretty much everything there is to do in the entertainment business from producing top names in country music to Broadway shows. Not only is he excited and dedicated to his art, he is fully engaged with eight LEC productions all over the world. I was impressed with his sensitivity to the Hawaiian culture and how he has made a commitment to present the show differently than the others in the franchise. This is the only production that varies in format from the other shows the company produces. Brian recognizes that for the show to succeed, it must have Hawaiiana as of part of the program. He’s is in for the long haul and is definitely up for the challenge to make this part of our community.
This new production will be taking place at the newly renovated Royal Hawaiian Theater. This is a 700 seat venue with huge vaulted ceilings with professional top notch special effects, lighting and sound setup. The cast and crew of the production is mostly made up of local talent with the exception of the main headliners which includes a rotating cast of over 80 live band members, performers and dancers.
The show is entitled Rock a Hula and has performances six nights a week starting at 8:15 PM with many packages available ranging from general admission to VIP seats which give you backstage access, For more information give us a call at 1-800-843-8771 and you can also get more information by visiting their website at www.legendsWaikiki.com you can find them on twitter @legendswaikii and Facebook

Today we check in with comedian/entrepeanuer Lanai Tabura who shares with us his early days living and growing up on the small island of Lanai and how his career has evolved. Over the last few years he’s produced his own wine label called Look me in the Eye and created a fun iPhone app called Pidgin 101.

He is full of Aloha which is translated into everything he does.
He’s also passionate about travel. He began hosting trips during his radio days as a disc jockey taking people to Vegas; people loved the trips so much he started doing them on a regular basis. He now travels all over the world with groups several times a year to destinations like the Philippines and Thailand. Today we have the opportunity to discuss Lana’s Travel Club where he puts package deals and special itineraries . Coming up in Feb. he is hosting a wine tour to California and in February a trip to the Philippines.

Christmas is right around the corner so we brought in Katherine Finch who blogs about shopping for us to talk about unique holiday gifts from Hawaii. Katherine is passionate about all things made in Hawaii and she shares with us some unique inexpensive gifts that you can get here while you’re on vacation to send back to loved ones on the mainland for Christmas or any other special occasion.
Hawaii has so many wonderful special gifts that can only be found here in the islands. For example Katherine shares with us some of her favorite confections like Hawaiian white cane sugar from Maui, delicious Coconut Taffy Hawaiian cookies and yummy pineapple jam. Most of these items can be purchased for less than five dollars and are available readily in many of the local stores here in the islands.
Katherine also told us about a great experience that she had at Maui divers. This is a company that manufactures and sells pearls here in Hawaii. She shared with us a beautiful pearl necklace she got there which will make a perfect Holiday gift.
