Hawaii ukulele artist Taimane is turning her new album into a full theatrical production, good news for local arts fans and the Chinatown businesses around the venue.

• Her new album Leolā is out now, built around twilight, illusions, and the spirits said to stir after dark.
• She is staging it October 22nd at the historic Hawaii Theatre with aerialists, Polynesian dancers, and contemporary dancers.
• The show runs in two halves: a greatest-hits set first, then the full Leolā story as "Crossing into the Mirage."
• The album has been submitted for Grammy consideration and is now on the ballot for member voting.

Outlook: Grammy members vote in the coming week, and the Hawaii Theatre production lands later this month.
