About this Event

Māhū Madness
Hilton Hawaiian Village - Tapa Ballroom
Saturday, September 6, 2025
7PM - 9PM

From self-taught vocalists to a Juilliard alumni pianist, Māhū Madness gives drag artists the creative freedom to express their colors through their performances on stage. Māhū Madness provides a unique opportunity for attendees to enjoy a night of “drag” in an elegant and sophisticated environment. Bringing new queens and original queens from The Glades Era together! The show is an electrifying night of performances, storytelling, and unapologetic expression, honoring the māhū legacy and queer brilliance of the Pacific.


This is more than a show! It’s a celebration of identity, resistance, and joy rooted in the spirit of aloha. Incorporating class, style and grace with the raunchy-ness that everyone is looking for! Featuring a lineup of Native Hawaiian and local LGBTQIA+ talent, our event aims to uplift māhū voices and reclaim spaces for indigenous expression in the drag world.


Participating Queens:
  • Lady Laritza La Bouche
  • Kaina Jacobs
  • Mallibu Del Rey
  • Molliee Cocktail
  • Shoyu Bunnie

Show emceed by Cocoa Chandelier & Leikia!
