A Timeless Princess,
An Original Musical
In 2019, Edgewater Productions was pleased to announce its first ever production and a new original musical entitled A Timeless Princess at the Mamiya Theatre. Written and produced by Denny Miyasato, the musical tells the story of a present-day serviceman who is transported back in time 120 years, arriving on the streets of a bustling Honolulu to a world of struggle and strife amongst mounting tensions and a heated social and political landscape. He is enchanted by a young Princess Ka’iulani and a captivating story of love and hope, strength and sacrifice unfolds.
Recording star Ciana Pelekai headlined the cast in the role of Princess Ka’iulani. From a humble beginning, Ciana showed remarkable potential and talent. She appeared on America’s Got Talent twice, advanced into the quarterfinals in New York City and performed on the Radio City Music Hall stage. Ciana was also featured on Maury’s Most Talented Kids show and performed at numerous professional sporting events. In January of 2019, she signed a recording contract with Jon-Tonz Music Group in New York and shortly after, released her first single, “Bluff,” which received over 4 million views on sound cloud in the first two weeks.
