About You're A Good Man Charlie Brown

“You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” is a delightful musical based on Charles Schulz’s beloved “Peanuts” comic strip. Here’s a brief synopsis:

The whole Peanuts gang is here:

  • Bossy Lucy, who’s hopelessly in love with piano prodigy Schroeder (who doesn’t give her the time of day).
  • Perfectionist Sally, who still mocks blanket-toting Linus.
  • Snoopy, who’s in the doghouse.
  • And, of course, “blockhead” Charlie Brown himself, who’s in rare form.

The musical consists of brief vignettes spanning various moments in Charlie Brown’s life, from Valentine’s Day to Beethoven Day. It captures wild optimism, utter despair, and everything in between. In this revised version, with additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and dialogue by Michael Mayer, the sweet, joyful innocence of the Peanuts gang is maintained, but a fresh insouciance and playfulness are revealed. The new script features two new songs, particularly funny dialogue, and catchy orchestrations. Whether you’re keen to fly with the Red Baron, moon over the Moonlight Sonata, or just find “Happiness,” “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” is a crowd-pleasing classic.
