On the Scene

Kashiwada had something in common as they congratulated him after the show: Izuka plays the manapua man in the current production; Wat and Kashiwada portrayed the character in Kumu Kahua's two previous stagings.
ALOHA, LIONEL!: Lionel Richie and Tina Lau shared a hug backstage Saturday after his concert in the Blaisdell Arena. Lau said they first met back in 1978 when Richie played Blaisdell with the Commodores and she was working with Kamasami Kong at KKUA radio.
A GREAT VISIT: Cast members, from left, Brian Kevin Parker and Glenn Cannon celebrated with Stefanie Anderson and Scott Rogers on Wednesday at the party that followed the opening-night performance of "Visiting Mr. Green" at Manoa Valley Theatre. Parker and Cannon got a lengthy and well-deserved standing ovation, and the show looks like a hit (Rogers directed the two-man play; Anderson is assistant director).
