You'll laugh hysterically as 3 actors present over 500 years of American history as they continuously change costumes and characters. Think of an American history lesson as told by the Marx Brothers or The Three Stooges, on Saturday Night Live! Before the show, enjoy a relaxing 3-course dinner served in the Palms Restaurant with table side service including appetizer, entree (including vegetarian and fish options)and dessert choices plus coffee or tea. Price includes dinner, gratuity and the show. Join the over 5,000 Kauai visitors and kama`aina who have seen this hysterical comedy. Don't miss it! « less

What a fun evening! These guys are great, and you can tell they LOVE what they're doing. They give it everything up there, and really pull the audience in. Seamless timing, clever body language and expressions, witty dialogue and an overall very funny show. Intimate setting allows for a good view from every seat, as well as making it easy... More

Non-stop sketches and one liners. Full of energy. Lots of double entendre. Wish I could remember all of the jokes.

This production is WAY overrated and over priced. The dinner was average. We kept waiting for the funny part to begin. Save your money for something more entertaining on the island.

The Producers of Oceanside Productions know that while you can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, you can never please all of the people all of the time (attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but we also like the saying). We also believe it’s difficult to guage and understand the... More

$138.00 got us a mediocre meal and a poorly produced show. This felt like three high school boys who needed to produce a history project and left it for the last minute. The lack of even polight laughter was embarrassing. I appreciate the boys zeal, but they should stick to their day jobs.

With the new Ownership and change of cast and roles the play was even better than before. A few new quick lines added makes you pay closer attention so you don't miss anything. Loved it.
