Creator's Key Takeaways
The Lu Kalamaku experience. It's beyond lu. We put the wild back in lu.
Our show transcends u the luau. We go deeper into the early Hawaiian experience.
I have people come up to me and say thank you with tears in their eyes because they understand loss or separation or reuniting and they feel connected.
What I'd really love our guests to walk away with at the end of the day after seeing Lu Kamaku and being with us as an experience is a hunger to learn more about who we are as a people.
