Every once in a while, Ala Moana Center features a song and dance performance from outside of Hawaii. Today was a treat for the shoppers near Centerstage for they enjoyed watching young people performing song and dance for 45 minutes non-stop. The group is called SHOWBIZ and composed of students (freshman to seniors) from Danville, California.
There were a lot of Broadway in the show consisting of Charlie Brown, a fight scene like in Westside Story, (I think) a bit Camelot, Fame, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and a few others.
A lot of singing and stage dancing ....no Hip Hop or Latin. However there were a few attempts on Swing and Ballroom dancing. But those youngsters came to perform and entertain and entertain they did at their very best. Colorful as their costumes, their face expressions showed that they were enjoying what they do.
I enjoyed most of the tunes they sang,,,the solos, the duets, the trios, and at times the whole ensemble.
I especially liked the performance and singing of "Thriller". The dancing was almost the same as Michael Jackson's but I think if the performers were dressed as ghouls with ghoulish makeup, it might have had more impact on the performance.All in all, it was a good show put up by young people and with all the loud applauses and whistles during and after the song and dance performance, it was a SHOWBIZ that the audience enjoyed for 45 minutes. I did!
