Mash-ups are all the rage in the electronic music scene—DJ’s, like Girl Talk, spin classic rock tracks from the likes of Journey while adding new beats and layers from contemporary acts like Jay-Z. The theory: mixing together two things that people like makes it better. The same can go for the latest Young Rep production of It’s A Wonderful Neverland, opening Friday, February 22. The show takes the classic story of Peter Pan and “mashes” it up with It’s A Wonderful Life, while mixing in some music too. The result is an imaginative tale which helps Peter realize what Neverland would be like without the great Peter Pan.
Friday & Saturday, 7pm; Sunday, 2:30pm. $5 child / $10 adult. Toledo Repertoire Theater, 16 10th St. 419-243-9277. www.toledorep.org—JG
