Yous're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a 1967 musical comedy with music and lyrics past Clark Gesner, based on the characters created past cartoonist Charles Thousand. Schulz in his comic strip Peanuts. The musical has been a pop option for amateur theatre productions because of its small cast and elementary staging.[i]
Background [edit]
John Gordon was credited with the book of the show, only according to Gesner's foreword in the published script, "John Gordon" is a collective pseudonym that covers Gesner, the cast members, and the product staff, all of whom worked together to get together the script. The Guide to Musical Theatre notes that "John Gordon is a pseudonym for the staff and cast of the show. The original cast included Bob Balaban, Gary Burghoff, Bill Hinnant, Skip Hinnant, Karen Johnson and Reva Rose."[2] [iii] [4]
History [edit]
During the early 1960s, Gesner had begun writing songs based on Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters, but was unable to get permission from the United Features Syndicate to apply the characters in his songs. Somewhen Gesner sent Schulz a demo recording of some of the songs and Gesner soon had permission to properly record them, which he did in 1966.[5] Orson Bean sang the role of Charlie Brown, Clark Gesner sang Linus, Barbara Minkus sang Lucy, and Beak Hinnant sang Snoopy (he reprised his function in the Off-Broadway product).
At the time, Gesner had no plans for a musical based on this pre-production "concept album". Nevertheless, producer Arthur Whitelaw, who would later proceed to write another musical based on Peanuts, encouraged Gesner to plough the album into a musical.[6]
The stage adaptation of the concept anthology, titled You lot're a Expert Homo, Charlie Chocolate-brown,[7] went into rehearsal in New York Metropolis on February 10, 1967.[viii] Prior to its opening, the musical had no actual libretto; it was several vignettes with a musical number for each one.[8]

1968 Westward Finish premiere [edit]
None of the bandage is actually six years old. And they don't
actually await like Charles Schulz' "Peanuts" cartoon
characters. Simply this doesn't seem to make that much
difference once we are into the play, because what
they are saying to each other is with the openness of
that early childhood fourth dimension, and the obvious fact is that
they are all really quite fond of each other.
— Clark Gesner[17]

The instrumentation varies greatly and three kinds be.

When Tams-Witmark acquired the rights to Charlie Brown, the orchestration was rewritten from the original version.

Response [edit]
The off-Broadway production was well received, with The Village Voice praising the simplistic prepare and "strikingly talented" bandage.[41] Walter Kerr in The New York Times chosen the show "a phenomenon", saying, "Almost everything works, because almost everything is effortless."[42]
In reviewing the 1999 revival, Playbill's Steven Suskin establish information technology "overblown and underwhelming. The scenic and musical enhancements were especially harmful, it seemed to me; the unassuming, kid-size characters were overwhelmed… Which is not to say that the 1999 music department did a bad job; it's simply that the concept of a large, new 'You're a Skillful Man, Charlie Brown' worked against the inherent qualities of the cloth."[43] In The New York Times, Ben Brantley wrote a lukewarm review:
The existent problem is a matter of scale… there's an uncomfortable feeling of dead air that the cast must piece of work much besides difficult to fill… Songs that were created as droll, low-key character portraits accept been reconceived as showstoppers, and the frail, winsome niggling bodies of these numbers simply aren't up to the job. When Linus sings a duet with his famous security blanket, which has been wired to dance on its own, the sequence has a flailing, improvised quality that is the stuff of actors' nightmares.[42]
Brantley did praise some of the bandage, saying, "Kristin Chenoweth's performance every bit Sally volition be the office that should seal her reputation. This glow cast by a star-in-the-making gives a real Broadway magic to a show that otherwise feels sadly shrunken… And Roger Bart, in the plum role of Snoopy, the charismatic beagle, incorporates some delightful doglike mannerisms."[42]
