“You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”
Based on the comic strip "Peanuts" by Charles M. Schulz, this off-Broadway musical has Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the gang spending an entire day capturing little moments from Valentine's Day to the baseball season, and experiencing all the tender, childhood emotions in between.

The play is told through short scenes that mimic the four-panel format used by the original Peanuts comic strip. A host of regular “Peanuts” characters make appearances to comment on Charlie Brown or just life itself and sing favorites such as “My New Philosophy,” “T-E-A-M (The Baseball Game)” and “Little Known Facts.”

Children of all ages (recommended for ages six and up) are sure to be delighted by this tribute to childhood. Discover, along with the “Peanuts” gang, if Charlie Brown really is a good man, if Lucy secures Schroeder’s love, if Linus lets go of his blanket and where Snoopy’s imagination takes him.
