In a way, maybe it\u2019s the best way to tell this kind of story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you have adult characters, there\u2019s baggage. People have more expectations, like, \u2018This person is just rich,\u2019 or whatever. People put them in categories. But with kids, they\u2019re just kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adds Rubin, \u201cAlso, there\u2019s just something to be said for the voices of children (singing) \u2026 I think people responded to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Peace On Your Wings<\/em> went on to tour the neighbor islands, then to Los Angeles\u2019 Aratani Theatre (the same place George Takei\u2019s Broadway musical <em>Allegiance<\/em> made its West Coast premiere) and to New York City\u2019s Gerald W. Lynch Theatre.<\/p>\n<p>The show is now preparing for its debut in Hiroshima in September. It will come on the heels of the 2023 G7 Summit, which also takes place in the southern Japanese city, in May.<\/p>\n<p>But first, audiences here in the islands will have a chance to see it again, when it returns to Hawai\u2018i Theatre this week, Feb. 9-11.<\/p>\n<p>For those who saw the original, this rendition promises to be a new experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe play starts differently, there\u2019s a couple of songs that we deleted, and we added one new song,\u201d says Rubin. \u201cI think it tells the story more clearly and poignantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viewers can also expect updated lighting and choreography, and new set designs.<\/p>\n<p>Although Rubin and Taira began collaborating shortly after meeting as students at Yale School of Music in 2004 \u2014 Rubin is an opera singer and author of the autobiography <em>Do You Dream in Color?<\/em> about growing up blind; Taira is a composer, pianist and clarinetist \u2014 <em>Peace On Your Wings <\/em>was their first full-scale musical. Many of their adjustments were a result of audience feedback and lessons learned by taking the show on the road.<\/p>\n<p><em>Peace On Your Wings<\/em> is still centered around 12-year-old Sadako Sasaki. A real-life victim of the bombing, she was made famous by the children\u2019s book <em>Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes<\/em> by Eleanor Coerr.<\/p>\n<p>When Sadako is diagnosed with leukemia \u2014 known at the time as \u201cthe atomic bomb disease\u201d \u2014 she is determined to fold a thousand paper cranes so that her wish to be cured will come true.<\/p>\n<p>But Rubin and Taira dug deeper, incorporating material from Sadako\u2019s older brother, Masahiro Sasaki, who co-wrote <em>The Complete Story of Sadako Sasaki and The Thousand Paper Cranes <\/em>with American author Sue DiCiccio. It was published in 2018, four years after Taira and Rubin wrote their musical.<\/p>\n<p>Masahiro actually saw the earlier version of their play and praised it, but Taira and Rubin seized the opportunity to refine their work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of material that\u2019s out there for kids water down a lot of the emotional content because they think kids can\u2019t handle it,\u201d Rubin says. \u201cBut when you think about it, kids undergo so many harrowing experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese (changes) don\u2019t make her story any sadder, by the way,\u201d she continues. \u201cThey just make it really poignant and actually more uplifting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adds Taira, \u201c(Sadako) was so full of life and had such a will to live, this illness was not going to stop her. She was just one of these people who never took a day she was alive for granted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe did whatever she could to make the most of every single day without knowing, necessarily, <em>ichigo ichie<\/em> but just living that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emi Sampson and Jenelle Wong, both juniors at Kalani High School, were cast for the lead role of Sadako. (Taira and Rubin chose two actresses in case one of them came down with COVID-19.) Wyatt Tamamoto, a junior at \u2018Iolani School, will be Masahiro, and Maya Nakamoto, an eighth grader at Hawai\u2018i Technical Academy, will play Aiko, a fictional friend of Sadako\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>When they and the rest of the cast go to Hiroshima, they will visit the Children\u2019s Peace Monument, which commemorates Sadako and other child victims of the atomic bombing, and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which is dedicated to documenting the blast.<\/p>\n<p>Taira first visited the museum in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very eye-opening,\u201d she says. \u201cI had read the book <em>Hiroshima<\/em> (by John Hersey) back in high school. But it\u2019s one thing to read about it and another to actually go there and see the artifacts and read the stories told by people who were there. It stuck in my memory and that\u2019s a big reason I thought of this story to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cast also plans to meet with Sadako\u2019s surviving friends and tour Nobori-cho Elementary School, which Sadako attended.<\/p>\n<p>As for the show itself, Taira and Rubin say bringing it to Hiroshima feels like a homecoming of sorts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are nervous to see how the Hiroshima people are going to react,\u201d Taira says. \u201cBut I think just bringing this from the U.S., it\u2019s a beautiful thing. Hopefully on the Japan side, they will feel there is some recognition that we are telling her story, and they know we share this wish for peace. We\u2019re on board for there to be peace in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To purchase tickets, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/hawaiitheatre.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hawaiitheatre.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u2018Ohana Arts musical~\u201cPeace On Your Wings\u201d returns with a powerful message \u2014 and this time the cast and crew..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":1879,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cover-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
