The Cirque Hawaii Theatre in Waikiki

The Cirque Hawaii is not the Cirque du Soleil and should not be confused with it. The Cirque Hawaii Theatre in Waikiki, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii is a local theater company that endeavors to offer performing arts for visitors and residents. Their performances are filled with acrobatic skill, which comes from all over the world. The theater is located at 325 Seaside Avenue. It is not a Vegas level performance, but you will find it is quite popular as Honolulu shows and dinner shows go.

The sound and lighting system are state of the art. There is quite a bit of staging, special effects, and surround sound to ensure guests are completely taken in during the show. Bungee jumpers, flying silk artists, clowns, statue acts, contortionists, trapeze artists, the teeterboard, skip rope, Polynesian warriors, transformations and Russian bar performers are all part of the show.

The theater holds 478 people. In comparison to some of the grander US theaters it is small and intimate, but large enough that many different talent shows can be put on. There are actually three performance tiers with 70 feet of aerial equipment. Some of the staging is even over the audience's head.
