6 roles
Self-deprecating and optimistic, Charlie Brown is the lovable loser protagonist of our show. A multi-layered kid who is determined to get better, despite his constant doubt in himself. Dominated by insecurities, this lovable blockhead is affable, humble but smart and vulnerable. Strong singing and acting skills B-flat2 to F4
A highly articulate, charismatic, lovable, sometimes eccentric, and argumentative younger sister to Charlie Brown. Despite being portrayed as innocent and adorable, she is noticeably intelligent for her age. She is absurdly intense, balancing angst with innocence, sweet but a skeptic. She has a crush on Linus. Strong singing and acting skills B3 to A-flat5
The thumb-sucking, blanket-dependent younger brother to Lucy—and Charlie Brown’s best friend. Though young, he is the most educated character in the bunch. He is unusually smart and he acts as the show’s philosopher. Strong singing, acting, and soft shoe or tap experience would be great; must have the ability to dance or move well B-flat2 to E4
The crabby, opinionated, manipulative, self-important older sister to Linus who bosses Charlie Brown around and perpetually offers arm-chair psychiatric advice for her rate of five cents. This actress will have dimension in her performance – she will have the ability to be a brute but also allow her compassion to shine when necessary. A strong-willed comedian with a great sense of timing Strong actress and belter G3 to Fsharp5
Charlie Brown’s dog. A clownish, vaudevillian scene-stealer who can really “sell it.” Snoopy is more human-like than dog. His character is that of a dog who pretends to be a person (or who sometimes forgets he is a dog). He can dance circles around everyone else. He is smart, wise-cracking, and joyous. This role is physically demanding both in innovation and execution. Actor who can portray a dog; physicality is a must Strong comedic timing and musical theatre-style dance required C3-A4
A friend to Charlie Brown, he is distinguished by his precocious skill at playing the toy piano, as well as by his love of classical music and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. He is Lucy’s love interest but he could care less about her. His love is Beethoven and he is very serious about his musical hobby. That said, he comes out and shines in his one number, “Beethoven Day,” which can be a show stopper. Strong acting and singing skills B-flat2 to A-flat4
