YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN to be Presented at Chatham Players
This feel-good production will run from February 28 through March 15.
The Chatham Community is inviting you to “relive your childhood” with the family-friendly musical, “You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown”, based on The Comic Strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, Book, Music, and Lyrics by Clark Gesner. This feel-good production will run from February 28 through March 15. Directed & choreographed by Matt Muccigrossi of Belle Mead with music direction by Eric van Hoven of Denville. “We are having a wonderful time bringing the Schulz comic strip to life while paying homage to the original 1967 off-Broadway production.” said Director Muccigrossi.
Based on Charles M. Schulz's beloved comic strip, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown explores life through the eyes of the Peanuts gang as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes, and celebrate the joy of friendship. This is a charming revue of songs and vignettes – featuring musical numbers “My Blanket and Me,” “The Kite,” “The Baseball Game,” “Little Known Facts,” “Suppertime” and “Happiness” – is designed to appeal to audiences of all ages. Producer Jessica Phelan shared, “This cast has a ton of energy and playfulness. It has been so fun to watch them begin to shape their versions of these iconic characters during rehearsals. You will definitely leave with a smile on your face!”
