Based on Charles M. Schulz’s iconic comic strip Peanuts, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown brings to life the everyday adventures and life lessons of Charlie Brown and his friends. The musical explores the trials and triumphs of childhood through vignettes, witty dialogue, and memorable songs like “Beethoven Day,” “My New Philosophy” “Suppertime,” and the heartwarming finale, “Happiness.”
“VYT is thrilled to share this nostalgic story, a celebration of the humor, challenges, and joys of childhood that resonate with audiences of all ages,” said Billie Jo & Judd Herberger Executive Producer, Bobb Cooper. “It’s not just about the laughter or the toe-tapping songs; it’s about the connections our young performers make, and the lessons they learn.”
Featuring book, music, and lyrics by Clark Gesner, with additional material by Andrew Lippa and Michael Mayer, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown is a musica, made the for the entire family. The original production debuted Off-Broadway in 1967 and earned a Tony Award in its 1999 Broadway revival.
