Eric Gilliom to perform ‘White Hawaiian’

Eric Gilliom is an award-winning musician and entertainer whose talents have taken him from Hawaii to performing live on the stages of Broadway, the Grammy Awards and mainstream entertainment through his various concerts and appearances in films and television.
KIHEI — “The White Hawaiian,” starring Eric Gilliom, is a smart and witty one-man show that first debuted in 2019 to sold-out audiences at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.
Following its initial success in 2020, “White Hawaiian” did it again at Mulligan’s on the Blue in Wailea with more sell-out shows and rave reviews.
This summer, Gilliom will reprise his roles for two nights followed by a matinee each month at the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei. The show will have a three-month residency with performances on July 8-10, Aug. 12-14 and Sept. 16-18 (Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.).
“The White Hawaiian” was written by Gilliom and Brian Kohne. It’s based on Gilliom’s famous family history and Eric’s career as an entertainer.
Furiously donning outlandish wigs with gaudy costumes, the story unfolds from his great grandparents to his grandparents on down to his parents, then seamlessly into growing up with his six-time Grammy-nominated sister, Amy Hanaiali’i Gilliom.
The reliving of his career highlights and follies makes this a full-circle story that is rich and entertaining.
Maui’s Curtain Call Reviews noted: “Mr. Gilliom gives everything he’s got every moment he is on the stage. There is an old saying about when a performer is totally committed to their material, they say, ‘he left it on the stage.’ Well, Mr. Gilliom not only leaves it on the stage but everywhere else in the house. His singing, acting, and material are totally terrific, and this is a marvelous show you will probably want to see several times… It’s that good.”
Tickets are available via ProArtsMaui.com. The playhouse is located in Azeka Mall at 1280 South Kihei Road.
