Lylas proceeds to pull hair, rip shirt, and otherwise express her
resentment when Charmaine puts her Maui girl moves on Kayden. Raylani
tries to calm the ladies down.
With book and lyrics by Lee Cataluna and music by Sean T. C. O'Malley,
Ulua: The Musical deals with life, love, and fishing on Maui. Local
boy Kayden Asiu leaves his job, his Soloflex, and his fiancee Lylas on
O`ahu to explore life's options on Maui. Butchie and Clyson, two
co-workers, introduce him to the joys of all-night ulua fishing. But Lylas
follows Kayden to Maui, Butchie's fiancee gets upset, and eventually the
women follow their men to the ulua, and the sea. First staged by Kumu in
1999, this musical comedy comes to the intimate KKT stage for the first
time. Ulua: The Musical opens in January 2006.
One ulua, brah? Das not even one papio. Trow um back, Kayden.
Dis ain't Manini: Da Musical.
Butchie Funabiki daydreams of fishing and the ones that got away,
while fiancee Charmaine wonders if there is more to life than washing
Butchie's clothes, frying his spam, and plucking the little black hairs
out of his back with tweezers.
Kumu Kahua's 100-seat playhouse puts you at the heart of the drama. And
with well over 100 plays to our credit, our reputation attracts some of
Hawaii's most talented actors, directors, playwrights, designers and other
theater artists and technicians.
