You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1999 Broadway Revival Cast) Review
It's easy to see why You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is so popular. With its simple set and small cast, it has become a staple of high-school drama and small-scale productions all over America. Of course, this doesn't necessarily translate into a grandiose Broadway show, but this Michael Mayer-directed production is enjoyable. Anthony Rapp (Rent) plays an effective Charlie and Ilana Levine's Lucy is fun. The lively "Snoopy" number (Roger Bart plays the canine's role) is the musical's highlight, but such tunes as "Beethoven Day" really date the musical. Some may find it simplistic; others will love it. Which probably makes it a lot like the "Peanuts" comic strip itself. --Jason Verlinde

The original is far better

The songs are good, but I find Lucy's voice to be so grating as to have to skip almost every song she is in. Sally's voice is good in song, but uses the same shrill speaking tones as Lucy. Linus's lisping is almost as bad.

'New Philosophy' is delightful and 'Glee Club Rehearsal' is fun but I find the other new songs average and the rewrites of the original songs dissapointing.

On it's own it's might be fine but for me it suffers in comparison to the original.

Great Songs !! Good Cast

Overall I thought the music was great. Kristin Chenoweth is amazing!!! (My New Philosophy) I loved Snoopy (Roger Bart), he has the best songs in the entire album, a great voice and very amusing (Suppertime). Anthony Rapp was a the perfect Charlie Brown, he brings out the essence of the child (The Kite). Lucy's (Ilana Levine) voice is annoying, but I guess that was the character, she's also very funny. B.D Wong does an excellent job with "My blanket and me", great melody (stays with you after you've heard it). Stanley Wayne Mathis is a proper Schroeder and sounds really good in "Beethoven Day". I would definitely advice people to buy this album.

I was in a camp play about "You're a good man, charlie brown" and i loved it so much, although my character, linus, didn't come up to often he was still awsome! I loved My new philosophy, and The opening song "You're a good man, charlie brown" IT was awasome. Camp Pok-o-moonshine, and maccready Rock!
