What you've likely read is hype. SKIP IT!!

I attended this show while visiting Maui in March of 2005. I read all of the reviews in the popular guidebooks and thought it was something we simply could not miss. WRONG.
Here's what the guidebooks don't tell you about Warren's show.
DO NOT under any circumstances sit in his front row unless you want to be heckled, harrassed, and/or humuliated. For me, I don't mind paying admission, but I do so to remain a spectator, not become part of Warren's hack comedy act which relies on insulting his guests for a few cheap diversionary laughs. A few things I witnessed: using a permanent marker on a lady's hands (making large L's and R's without her permission), insulting his guests with demeaning references and nicknames (ie. Goober, Opie, etc), borrowing items and returning them damaged/dirty. Some poor guy actually just got married and lended Warren his ring for part of the show...big mistake. I could see him trying to remove the caked on wax after he received it back. I would have been furious.
Also, Warren claims this show to be family friendly. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Although it is true he does not swear, he does tend to make very graphic references to genetalia when it suits his comedy. So, although you won't hear any effenheimers, he will likely comment extensively about his fascination with the male penis.
The food....yes, I will have to admit that the appetizers are fairly good. But, at the price they charge for them....major rip off!! I would expect something more substantial. You will do well to eat a light dinner BEFORE you arrive.
And, don't count on having decent drinks. They are watered down, and often very skimpy in volume, especially if the poor impersonation of Lizza Minelli delivers them to you!! If she is your waitress, count on getting about 1/2 of a drink for every one others receive. Being your waitress is not her primary objective, trust me. And, I send my deepest sympathies to the actual Lizza Minelli.
So what's left? The magic...it will likely be the single biggest let down of the evening. Although Warren is a stud at card shuffling, his magic is...well it's amateur hour quality. If you really want to be fooled, you will have a great time. But, if you really want to be astonished, stick to looking at prices in South Maui resort dinner menus. I'm sorry Warren, but turning the lights off in the theatre during your act...please don't continue to insult your audience like that. That's just lame.
Sum total, you can have a great time in Maui doing something else. Warren's show is just not worth the effort. Trust me. I'm just surprised he doesn't call each of his guests a sucker as they walk out the door.
