Photo Flash: Barrett Foa, Tracie Thoms, and More in PAWS/LA's Benefit Performance of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN
Jared Gertner, Rory O'Malley, Barrett Foa, Carly Hughes, Doug Kreeger, and Tracie Thoms led for a one night only concert/staged reading of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown that benefited PAWS/LA, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit agency serving people and pets in need.
With book, music, and lyrics by Clark Gesner and directed by Randy Brenner, the musical director was Jake Anthony and Andrew Carlberg served as producer.
The musical comedy You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown opened off-Broadway in 1967 and ran for four years, playing a whopping 1,597 performances. A revised Broadway production in 1999 received four Tony Award nominations and won two. It was directed by Michael Mayer and featured additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. The sweet joyful innocence of Charles M. Schulz's beloved Peanuts gang is on full display with a fresh insouciance and playfulness. You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown remains a crowd-pleasing classic.
