About the project: You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown is a musical tribute to the characters of Charles Schultz’s Peanuts comic strip.

While the situations and relationships may be heightened by youth and for comedy, the emotions and the passions of the characters are all very real.

6 roles
The sometimes optimistic, sometimes self-deprecatory main character in Peanuts. The show is a day in the life of Charlie Brown. A lovable loser, his main characteristics are either self-defeating stubbornness or admirable determined persistence to try his best against all odds. He can never win a ballgame, but continues playing baseball; he can never fly a kite successfully, but continues trying to do so; Vocal Range: A bari-tenor who can speak/sing fast and memorize well - Bb2 to F
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. She must have dimension in her performance - she will have the ability to be a brute but also allow her compassion to shine when necessary. She has a strong, unrequited crush on Schroeder. A strong-willed comedian with a great sense of timing. Vocal Range: Mezzo/alto belt - G3 to F#5
The thumb-sucking, blanket-dependent younger brother to Lucy - and Charlie Brown's best friend. Though young, he is the smartest character in the bunch. He is also the show’s philosopher. Despite his mature vocabulary, juvenile aspects of his character are also displayed; for example, Linus is almost always depicted holding his blue security blanket and often sucking his thumb. Vocal Range: Baritone/tenor - Bb2 to E4
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. Lucy is in love with him 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. Vocal Range: High baritone/tenor - Bb2 to Ab4
A highly articulate, charismatic, lovable, sometimes eccentric and argumentative younger sister (2-3 years younger) 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. A strong comedic actor who can show Sally’s more innocent younger side but also her cynical views on life. Vocal Range: Soprano/mezzo belt - B3 to Ab5
Charlie Brown’s dog. A gentle but clownish vaudevillian scene stealer who can “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. Vocal Range: Tenor/baritone - C3 to A4
