YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of
Tams Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com
- With charm, wit, and heart, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown explores life through the eyes of Charlie Brown and his friends in the Peanuts gang. This revue of songs and vignettes, based on the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, is the ideal first show for those who would like to do a musical. Musical numbers include "My Blanket and Me," "The Kite," "The Baseball Game," "Little Known Facts," "Suppertime," and "Happiness."
*Please note that in the world of the Peanuts characters, age does not matter. They are all “kids.”
CHARLIE BROWN:A lovable loser, a child possessed of endless determination and hope, but who is ultimately dominated by his insecurities and a "permanent case of bad luck.” He is often taken advantage of by his peers.
LINUS VAN PELT: He is Lucy's little brother. Linus always means well and tries to smooth over any storms that arise amongst the gang. A source of frustration for him is Lucy, who always belittles him, particularly over his “stupid blanket” which is always at his side. He is Charlie Brown’s best friend.
LUCY VAN PELT: A crabby, bossy, selfish girl! She is especially mean to Charlie Brown and her “stupid” little brother Linus. Lucy is in love with Schroeder, who has NO interest in her whatsoever. Lucy is loud, obnoxious and has a very strong personality.
SALLY BROWN: Charlie Brown’s younger sister. Sally has a "take it easy" approach to life, preferring to slide by while doing as little work as possible. She is hopelessly in love with Linus. Sally has philosophies on life although they are not the most well thought out philosophies.
SCHROEDER: He has a precocious skill at playing the piano, as well as by his love of classical music and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Lucy is infatuated with Schroeder, but since Beethoven is a lifelong bachelor, Schroeder feels that he must emulate every aspect of his idol's life.
SNOOPY: He is Charlie Brown's pet beagle and is owned and cared for by Charlie Brown, although at times it is not clear who is in charge. Snoopy is blessed with a rich fantasy life.
