 The best way to describe this show is as an amalgamation of the comic strips – sort of a typical “day in the life” of Charlie Brown. To see what I mean, take a look at the synopsis. To get an even better idea of how the show works, browse through the complete libretto. |

 “Peanuts”, the comic strip about Charlie Brown and his friends, is the mostly widely-read syndicated comic strip in history. Read a little more about the comic. Turning the popular comic into a musical may not seem like the most obvious idea – find out how the musical developed. |
  Though there are others out there, the only recording I own of this show is the cast recording of the recent Broadway revival – take a look at my review of the CD, or listen to a clip from the title song.

 I haven’t stopped kicking myself for years now that I didn’t go see the show on Broadway in 1999. But I did still get to see the show anyway, when it played in Toronto in the fall of 2000. Read more about my thoughts on the show. |
 With a cast of only six characters, and the fact that the audience is already familiar with the characters, the actors have a really difficult challenge! Read a bit more about some of my favourite performers that have been in this show. Or, download a wallpaper with your favourite character on it!
