2023 ‘Ilima Awards

April 2026 — Diamond Head Theatre is set to light up the stage with an unforgettable 2026–2027 season packed with beloved classics, bold new works, holiday magic, and crowd-pleasing musical comedy. Featuring six blockbuster productions, the season promises powerful storytelling, iconic music, and theatrical spectacle for audiences of all ages.

The season opens with the audience-selected favorite, Fiddler on the Roof, the timeless tale of Tevye and his family as they balance love, faith, and tradition in a changing world. Filled with treasured songs like “Sunrise, Sunset” and “If I Were a Rich Man,” this classic remains one of musical theatre’s most enduring masterpieces.

Just in time for the holidays, Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical brings festive fun and heartwarming holiday spirit to the stage as the Grinch discovers the true meaning of Christmas in a dazzling theatrical celebration.

Next, audiences will journey into the enchanting and unpredictable world of Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim’s witty and imaginative musical that intertwines beloved fairy tales with powerful lessons about wishes, consequences, and what happens after “happily ever after.”

In March, Diamond Head Theatre will celebrate Women’s History Month with Hawai‘i’s first production of Suffs, the Tony Award®-winning musical that chronicles the passionate fight for women’s suffrage. Hailed as a groundbreaking theatrical experience, the production shines a spotlight on the women whose fight for equality continues to resonate today.

Fresh from Broadway, Pirates! The Penzance Musical reimagines the Gilbert & Sullivan classic with vibrant New Orleans energy, Caribbean rhythms, swashbuckling adventure, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

Closing the season is the electrifying hit Hairspray, the Tony Award®-winning crowd favorite bursting with big dreams, unforgettable songs, and nonstop joy. This uplifting finale celebrates the power of hope, community, and dancing like nobody’s watching.
