YOU’RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN – the musical

Charles Schulz’s beloved PEANUTS comic strip, comes brilliantly alive on the stage, in Clark Gesner’s family-friendly Broadway musical comedy, YOU’RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN. Explore one day in the life through the eyes of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang friends, Lucy, Sally, Schroeder, Linus, and Snoopy. Charles Schultz’s PEANUTS comic strips have delighted countless generations with their joyful innocence.                           

Always considered to be a “good man” by his friends, five year old CHARLIE BROWN wants to win the heart of the Little-Red-Haired-Girl, See his friend Lucy, and her crush, piano-player Schroeder. Of course Snoopy and Linus constantly daydream, Snoopy battles with the Red Barron, and all the gang take pleasure in the simplest things in life. Enjoy watching all the friends delivering amazing one-liners, whist they battle with life, kites, school, baseball, misunderstandings and the joys of friendships, before finally becoming fully aware of everything that makes them happy.

Wonderful and evocative vignettes, all tunefully showcasing all the delightful songs, including charming memorable lyrics. The songs include “My Blanket and Me” “The Doctor is In (Dr. Lucy)” “Beethoven Day” “My New Philosophy” “T-E-A-M (The Baseball Game)” “Little Known Facts” “Suppertime” “Happiness”.

Well worth seeing is dancer Sophie Lewis, who is truely magnificent, constantly dancing, twirling, and hand-standing as Linus’s Blanket, during the song “My Blanket and Me”. Kudos to the wonderful cast of six talented performers, and all the creatives of YOU’RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN, absolute crowd-pleaser, and thoroughly entertaining for all ages, a must-see production.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
