East stage preview: 'Charlie Brown' tackles ageless issues
Post Gazette: "In Charles Schulz's popular comic strip 'Peanuts,' the characters are supposed to be 5- and 6-year-old children. But their concerns -- such as popularity, love and the meaning of life -- are ageless. Ben Greenstone, who is directing 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown,' said this universal quality is what has kept the strip around for almost 50 years -- and the quality that gives this musical, which will open tomorrow at the Theatre Factory in Trafford, the ring of truth."

This sounds like it will be good. I like the show and the take of having them set up as "people with fewer inhibitions" as opposed to children is great.The comment from one of the actors that "Linus knows more than I do."I hope that this show does very well for itself as I'm sure it will. You can't go wrong with characters that golden. Or a blanket that awesome.
