MOVEMENTS: "Stars in Concert," the impersonator revue, closed last Sunday at the Waikiki Lau Yee Chai in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza, but will move, starting tomorrow night, to the Ainahau Showroom of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani hotel, where it will play nightly except Wednesdays, following the Tihati Polynesian revue, "Creation — A Polynesian Journey."

The sound- and look-alike show, featuring Jonathan Von Brana as Elvis Presley, Mitch Adams as Elton John, Danita Asberry as Tina Turner and Whitney Houston (she also does Aretha Franklin), and Garry Morris as Little Richard, has had difficulty attracting a following in the fifth-floor Chinese restaurant disguised as a showroom. The move will improve production values (lights, sound, etc.) even if the stage motif is geared to the long-running Polynesian extravaganza. Tihati Productions, partnering with John Stuart of Las Vegas, were able to relocate without consequence from Leighton Mau and the Lau Yee Chai 'ohana. The move leaves singer Danny Couch continuing only on Wednesday nights at the Kaiulani. ...

FINAL BOWS: Mazel tov to Army Community Theatre's "Fiddler on the Roof," with Dennis Proulx as Tevye and Shari Lynn as Golde — a delightful dose of traditional theater that retained the spirit of the work. Closing-night patrons included Jim and Linda Tam, parents of Broadway star Jason Tam, who was eager to applaud Proulx; arts patron Jeanette Morgan; theater organist Don Conover; former Broadway performer Ernest Harada; and 7-year-old Maddy Wary, who stayed up for the entire musical but bowed out of the apres-show cast party at her dad Ed Wary's Tio's Garage & Taco Station, where a fiesta found Proulx offering the traditional "l'chaim" vodka toast.

This, after a glorious performance despite an aching back, unbeknownst to the audience and cast mates. What a trouper. Then on Sunday, Proulx invited the entire production to his Kaimuki home, where he displayed another talent: making Russian borscht (beet soup) for the potluck. ...

We had dinner with Kevin Gray (Scar in Disney's "The Lion King") and his wife, Dodie Pettit, who is visiting her hubby (they met when both were in "The Phantom of the Opera"), at Ruth's Chris Steak House at Restaurant Row on Monday night, in the company of publicist Lisa Josephsohn and Eddie and Patty Sherman. Gray shared news that Pettit orchestrated an "unplugged" recording he made with pianist Sue Anderson (wife of Cris Groenendaal, Hawai'i's favorite "Phantom" who appeared with Gray and Craig Schulman of "Les Miserables" fame as "The Three Phantoms" here), and the yet-to-be-titled CD should be out in the months ahead. Gray has been one of, if not the only principal, who's not missed a performance during the musical's 12-week run, which concludes Sunday. Clifton Oliver (Simba) has been out with a leg injury; the largely African troupers had to venture to San Diego to work out visa issues because the company heads for Mexico City after a three-week break for the holidays, resulting in players recruited from other tours. ...

And last Saturday night, Star 101.9's Scotty B (for Blaisdell) and wife Angie celebrated their wedding anniversary with their first visit to Ruth's Chris Steak House. Then bright and early Monday morning, the aforementioned Kevin Gray filled in for Hudson, joining Scotty on-air with an impromptu plug for Ruth's Chris, where he was to dine that evening. ...

WHEE, THE PEOPLE: When Manoa Valley Theatre board member Cathy Foy-Mahi brought her pal Steve Harmon to "Plaid Tidings" last weekend, Harmon had particular interest in the era depicted in the mythical musical about a four-part harmony band that perished en route to an appearance on the Ed Sullivan and Perry Como shows (as earlier depicted in "Forever Plaid"). The spinoff holiday musical, which is being held over because of popular demand, features archival footage from a Como Christmas TV special, and to Harmon's delight and surprise (he's a former actor and dancer in mid-'50s and '60s Hollywood and New York, who now lives in Lanikai), Harmon spotted himself waltzing around as one of the back-up dancers. After the performance, he posed with the Plaid crew, Andrew Sakaguchi, Aaron Komo, Sean Jones and Mike Dupre, plus musical director Melina Lillios. ...

"Plaid" has been extended a third and final time — with two more add-ons at 8 p.m. Dec. 14-15; these seats will go quickly, as demand is as hot as a Colt Brennan autograph. ...

Singer Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom has been added to "A Cazimero Christmas," the holiday spectacle by The Brothers Cazimero, at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 21-22 and 2 p.m. Dec. 23 at the Hawai'i Theatre. Should be a Mele Kalikimaka. ...

And that's Show Biz. ...
