The most known attraction in the Polynesian Cultural Center would be its extravagant dinner show, and that was really great as I had expected. I'd like to show you some scenes of the wonderful pageant, but picture shooting was prohibited. The pictures below were from the warm-up show performed by students of BYU. In such a situation, I don't drink a beer to avoid spending time in the washroom, but it was sad to eat steaks without wine. The center was run by the Mormon foundation and alcoholic beverages were prohibited in the park due to religious reasons.
The long-waited dinner show started at 7.30 after the stage was blanketed by darkness. While I was watching the show, I often forgot to eat the gorgeous dinner. The story was gripping and was about a baby who was born in a King's family and grew up to a great leader of the nation. It's worth while to visit Hawaii and watch!
ポリネシア文化センターの一番の呼び物は、ディナーショーだ。ただ、ショーを写真に撮ることは禁じられていた。下記に並べる写真は、前座のショーを撮影したものでここまでは撮影を許可されていた。演者はおそらく学生たち。彼らのショーに続いて行われたプロによる(と思われる)時代劇を豪華な食事をいただきながら鑑賞。このようなとき、トイレへ行かなくてすむようビールは飲まないが、ワインが飲めなかったのが辛かった。
プロによると思われるショーは完全に暗くなった１９時３０分開演。食事の手が止まってしまった。どうやら、一人の男が生まれ、いろいろな試練を経て次世代を率いるリーダーに成長する物語。迫力満点の素晴らしい野外劇だった。一見の価値、十分に有り。
