Waikiki Shows of the Past
Remembering Waikiki's live shows of the past.
Andy Bumatai's NightTime TV Show
One of the most entertaining evenings I've had in Waikiki in a very long time was watching
a taping of the new "NightTime with Andy Bumatai" TV show in the Tropics Showroom
of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort. Everyone is invited to be part of the show's
studio audience, it's FREE, and it is one of the most fun, entertaining, and unusual nighttime
experiences you can have in Waikiki. I highly recommend it.
UPDATE: After being filmed for several months in one of the showrooms at Hilton
Hawaiian Village Hotel Andy's TV show was filmed for several more months in the
showroom of the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Hotel. As of 2009 Andy's
TV show was turnd into an live Internet show.
