BWW Review: WAITRESS at Diamond Head Theatre
by Cheyne Nomura - June 01, 2022
It’s been a while since I’ve written a review for a local production, and what a treat it is to do so for Diamond Head Theatre’s Waitress. Once intended for 2020 and then indefinitely delayed due to Covid-19, ‘The Broadway of the Pacific’ was finally given its chance to mount this Hawaii premiere, and I personally appreciated my viewing of this performance, because it leaves room for discussion in terms of its strengths and what could, perhaps, see its improvements in.

Mānoa Valley Theatre Extends Run of CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND
by BWW News Desk - May 12, 2022
Mānoa Valley Theatre is pleased to announce the extension of Cambodian Rock Band, a dramatic comedy by Lauren Yee, with music by Dengue Fever through May 22nd. Discover Cambodia’s lost surf rock scene through the eyes of a young Cambodian American woman and her father, a Khmer Rouge survivor who begrudgingly returns to his home country for the first time in thirty years. This thrilling story toggles back and forth in time, as father and daughter face the music of the past. Featuring actor/musicians who perform a mix of contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, playwright Lauren Yee brings to life the Cambodian rock scene of the 60’s and 70’s, a movement cut short by the Khmer Rouge’s brutal attempt to erase the music (and musicians) once and for all.
