Swing into Waikiki in a "Big Band" Way with Premiere of Dinner Show and Dancing Featuring Renowned Osmond
Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa hosts "Pacific Swing Hawaii" beginning January 7
HONOLULU – January 3, 2011 – After months of preparation, the Big Band Era of the 1940s comes alive beginning January 7, 2011 at the 1,310-room Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa with "Pacific Swing Hawaii," Waikiki's newest dinner show featuring international recording artist Nathan Osmond, son of 1970s pop star Alan Osmond and nephew to Donny and Marie Osmond. Guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner and lively show, and also dance the night away to the smooth sound of a live band.
"We are pleased to debut 'Pacific Swing Hawaii' at our Waikiki resort," said Michael Nisky, general manager of Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. "It will be a great evening offering for both visitors and kama'aina who are looking for a new Hawaii experience unlike the traditional luau."
A trip back in time to the Big Band Hawaiian USO style tours of the 1940s, "Pacific Swing Hawaii" will be featured three to four days a week at Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. It includes fast-paced performances by a full cast of Hawaii's most professional performers with timeless hits including "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" and "Chattanooga Choo Choo."
"The 40s style of music and swing dancing is making a very strong comeback. Today's generation is rediscovering this timeless musical era," says Randal Davidson, the show's executive producer. "VH1 just aired its new Salute the Troops tour with a 1940s rendition of the Andrew Sisters' Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy sang by Keri Hilson, Katy Perry and Jennifer Nettles. Along with the popularity of TV shows such as Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, swing dancing and the 40s have become the hottest thing with the newest generation." Enjoy a gourmet dinner by the resort's Executive Chef Miles Togikawa with sumptuous entrees including Slow Roasted Pork Loin with a Rich Mushroom Demi Glaze and Seasoned Roast Chicken with Sake Soy Glaze.
