“PEACE ON YOUR WINGS”

The new musical “Peace on Your Wings” has an all-youth cast sharing the message “Ichigo ichie,” meaning “Today is the first and last day of your life.” Set in post-World War II Hiroshima, it is inspired by the real-life story of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl diagnosed with leukemia after an atomic bomb was dropped near her home. She  makes 1,000 paper cranes with her friends after hearing the legend that doing so would bring her one wish. The story was made famous by the book “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes.” The musical score combines modern pop with Japanese influences to create complex harmonies with a 20-instrument orchestra, and ranges from humor to sadness. 8 p.m. Orchestra seating $35 ($28 for Japanese American Cultural & Community Center [JACCC] members); reserved balcony seating $25 ($20 for JACCC members); $15 for students younger than 17. JACCC and Ohana Arts, 244 S. San Pedro Street, Los Angeles. Also playing at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Aratani Theatre, 244 San Pedro St., Los Angeles. (213) 680-3700. SAT | SEPT 19
