About This Project

The Hiʻiaka Musical

Michael Jackowitz is a Tony-award winning broadway musical producer (Diana, ESTELLA SCROOGE – A CHRISTMAS CAROL WITH A TWIST, Once Upon this Island) . Several years ago, he asked me to be the choreographer for a new musical being based on the epic tale of Hi’iakaikapoliopele, a beloved mo’olelo for hula peeps.

It eventually evolved into also co-writing the story and serving as part of the creative team, along with Keali’i Reichel and Roslyn Catracchia. We’ve been collaborating for many years and hope to finish by the end of this year.  Crossing fingers!
