FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HONOLULU, HI – (September 16, 2026) – Cirque du Soleil announced that tickets for ʻAuana, its acclaimed Hawaiʻi resident production, are now on sale for performances through 2027.
Presented at the custom-designed OUTRIGGER Theater inside the OUTRIGGER Waikīkī Beachcomber Hotel, ʻAuana was created exclusively for Hawaiʻi and brings Cirque du Soleil’s world-renowned artistry together with the stories, traditions, music and spirit of the islands. The production invites audiences into a theatrical experience featuring breathtaking acrobatics, comedy, hula and original music, all inspired by the moʻolelo (stories) and living culture of Hawaiʻi.
Since its premiere in December 2024, ‘Auana has welcomed more than 455,000 guests across 826 performances. More than 4,500 guests have returned to experience the production again, including nearly 10 percent of kamaʻāina (local Hawaiʻi resident) audiences. ‘Auana has quickly become a signature Waikīkī experience for both local residents and visitors, offering a one-of-a-kind production that can only be experienced in Hawai‘i.
That connection now extends beyond the theater with the release of ‘Auana’s original soundtrack across all major music streaming platforms. Since its July 2026 release, the soundtrack has surpassed 200,000 streams across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, giving listeners another way to connect with the music and stories that bring the production to life.
The production’s growing popularity has also earned national recognition. In 2026, ‘Auana was recognized by USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards as the No.3 Best Family Attraction in Hawai‘i and the No.4 Best New Attraction in the nation, further solidifying its place as a standout experience. With performances now on sale through 2027, guests can plan ahead to experience ‘Auana as part of their upcoming Hawai‘i getaway, special occasion or night out.
“As ʻAuana approaches its second anniversary, it is incredibly meaningful to see audiences from Hawaiʻi and around the world continue to connect with these stories,” said Tyron Hensel, General Manager at ‘Auana. “This production was created to share the beauty, history and living culture of Hawaiʻi through the unique artistic language of Cirque du Soleil, and we look forward to welcoming even more guests into this journey in 2027.”
