MIRANDA MUSICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS SNOOPY: THE MUSICAL!
Snoopy: The Musical is a charming musical take on the well loved, quirky characters of Charles M Schultz Peanuts cartoon. It works for grown ups because, like the ‘The Simpsons’, Snoopy and friends have a satisfyingly adult edge to their humour. This is a sequel to the musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown focuses more on the life of Snoopy.
Take a great actor, (Nathan Farrow), give him some white overalls and he becomes Schultz's eponymous beagle. Whether he is clambering on to his red kennel or sprawled inside it, he is a loveable and quirky puppy. His songs, complaining about the children's expectations that he should "sit up, lie down, roll over play dead or fetch a stick" or wistfully thinking about his birthplace the puppy farm Daisy Hill, and why his mother never contacts him, all have a blend of self interest, sadness and philosophy we have come to associate with Schultz's character.
The music is accessible and tuneful and the lyrics are wonderful. Snoopy's big number in the show, "The Big BowBow" is a classic of bravado and ambition. "I'm gonna be a big bow wow/You're going to see them all kow-tow/Bigger than Rin Tin Tin and Lassie/ . . . . and twice as classy"
The children are played by adults, including Jess Punch who plays ‘in yer face’ tomboy Peppermint Patty, Lexi Hutchinson as bossy-boots Lucy and Tamana Russell as the optimistic Sally Brown.
Of the boys, Louis Vinciguerra is the loveable loser Charlie Brown, Paul Tuohy the intellectual blanket carrying Linus, and the brilliant Nathan Farrow, who takes the titular role of Snoopy, the egocentric beagle who is both participator and impassioned observer.
Snoopy: The Musical is a charming family friendly musical for all ages bursting with colour and waxing philosophical as only the kids from PEANUTS can.
Will SNOOPY!!! find his long lost mother for Mother’s Day? Will the gang hand in their homework on Edgar Allan Poe? Will Linus finally meet The Great Pumpkin? Will Charlie Brown buy a new dog? Will Snoopy's manuscript ever get published? Will everyone be together for Christmas?
Somehow we think you know the answer to all of these charming stories and more as Miranda Musical Society presents this irresistibly charming musical adventure: SNOOPY!!! A production that teaches us all not to be anything less than everything we can be!
