Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang grapple with life’s big questions as they enjoy a childhood filled with baseball, kite-flying, difficult homework, childhood crushes, and Snoopy’s heroic aerial battles with the Red Baron. This revue of songs and vignettes, based on the beloved comic strip by Charles Schulz, is filled with charm, with, and heart. This family-friendly, energetic musical appeals to young and old alike.
Award-winning Clark Gesner composed for stage and television. “Happiness” became a hit standard after You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown opened in 1967.
