AN ORIGINAL HAWAIʻI MUSICAL

AN ORIGINAL HAWAIʻI MUSICAL, YEARS IN THE MAKING, COMING TO WAIKĪKĪ IN 2026

A Timeless Princess is a live theatrical experience inspired by Hawaiʻi’s past. A magical encounter sends a present-day marine back to 1898 Hawaiʻi, where love, destiny and a stolen future collide as a sovereign kingdom fights for survival.

A MAN OUT OF TIME,
A KINGDOM IN ITS FINAL HOUR

It begins at ʻIolani Palace.

A moment. A decision. And a journey that moves between past and present—where history and human connection begin to intertwine.

AN EXPERIENCE BUILT FOR
THOSE WHO WANT MORE

This is theater that respects your time and your intelligence. You’ll leave with something more than memories, but a story that will stay with you

Live performance
that moves you

Every moment is crafted to pull you into the story, from the first scene to the final act.

Hawaiian history
told with respect

The Kingdom’s final chapter is woven into a narrative that honors the past while telling something entirely new.

A story that stays
with you

Time travel, love, duty, and a choice between two worlds create a tale you’ll think about long after the curtain falls.

A Story Inspired by Hawaiʻi

This is a fictional narrative rooted in real history.

It does not attempt to recreate events exactly as they happened, nor does it aim to replace them.

Instead, it offers a perspective—one that blends fact and imagination to reflect the resilience, identity, and cultural strength of Hawaiʻi.

Approached with care and respect, the story is intended not as a retelling, but as an invitation to look deeper.

SHOW CREATOR

Denny H. Miyasato

An entrepreneur, songwriter, and playwright who firmly embraces the belief that the art of songwriting is an organic process nurtured by the myriad experiences one encounters throughout their lifetime. From an early age, he found himself captivated by Princess Ka’iulani’s beauty, yet was unaware of the profound depth of her intellect and unwavering courage.

In 2005, after immersing himself in a book about the life of Lili’uokalani, fragments of a captivating narrative began to materialize in his imagination. The year that followed marked the birth of the first words of this enchanted tale. Over the subsequent years, the script, music, and overarching themes of the musical gracefully evolved, culminating in the grand debut of A Timeless Princess at the illustrious Mamiya Theater on July 11, 2019.
