Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Good, not great, cast album (with exceptions)Broadway revival cast albums are a tricky thing -- how do you make something fresh, while not copying the original, and not making a mess of it, either? This 1999 revival cast of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN is fairly decent. The arrangements have life, the performances are enthusiastic, and the humor is simple and clear. Anthony Rapp, Roger Bart, and the fabulous Kristin Chenoweth do a great job. A little silly, a little cartoonish, and perfectly suited for the material. Unfortunately, a few of the other performers aren't well-suited for this music. Ilana Levine is a little TOO over-the-top and comes across as inauthentic, and B.D. Wong just has too much vibrato to be playing a young boy. ...

This CD is wonderfully well-done and brings back fond memories of when I saw it on stage as a little girl. This is the revival cast including Kristin Chenoweth as Sally Brown who won the Tony for her performance. All of the cast members sing their hearts out and do a superb job. This CD is great for ALL ages...young or old. It can be a great introduction to musicals for your little ones. Highly recommended!! Rating: - Great classic musical. . my children love it!This is a very fun musical. My children, ages 3 and 6, love it and sing along! Rating: - You're An Okay Man, Charlie BrownThe title for this review is clearly what this revival was. It was okay. Nothing special about it. They did make it look more like the comic strips, but it clearly didn't capture the mood. One problem I had with the revival was the addition of new material. I'm fine with new material to a show, but this show has added too much. Plus, it doesn't mix the original material. Example, in the song "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" there was the addition of new material. Personally, I don't like it. Some of the good things need to be left untouched. The new material sounds new. It doesn't have the charm and sweetness of the original. Another thing I didn't like is the orchestration. Sounded to 'pop' to me. My suggestion ... Read More: |
