​YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN
Picture
A playful medley of beloved comic characters
​

February 3 - 19, 2023

Based on The Comic Strip “Peanuts” by
Charles M. Schulz
Book, Music and Lyrics by Clark Gesner
Additional Dialogue by Michael Mayer
Additional Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com

Directed by Mark VanBeever
    

Charles Schulz’s endearing comic strip comes to life in this musical depiction of an average day in the life of Charlie Brown. The entire “Peanuts” gang is here: bossy Lucy, who offers psychiatric advice for a nickel; piano prodigy Schroeder, who won’t give Lucy the time of day; Snoopy, beagle extraordinaire and World War I Flying Ace; little sister Sally who can’t stop teasing blanket-toting Linus; and the original “blockhead” himself, Charlie Brown. From Valentine’s Day to Beethoven Day, we follow Charlie Brown through all of his ups and downs. In the end, he embraces what his friends have been telling him from the start: “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” With its catchy tunes and short comic vignettes, this crowd-pleaser will lift your spirits and warm your heart.
