REVIEW: Happiness is…….You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Revisited)

April 6, 2019 Ronnie Sharpe

Charles Schulz’s beloved comic comes to life in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Revisited) at the Novato Theater Company. Whether you’re keen to fly with the Red Baron or play ball with the best team of the very Little League this year you’re guaranteed to find “Happiness” at the crowd-pleasing classic, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Revisited).

You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Revisited), lands a knockout punch at The Novato Theater Company with a fresh approach to the classic comic strip by Charles Schulz. This performance warmed the heart of my nostalgic inner child while welcoming the newer generations of “Peanuts” lovers with charming vignettes by Charlie, Sally, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder and Snoopy. The dynamic and talented performers harmonize seamlessly in song and on stage with a live music accompaniment and vibrant set. Snoopy's “Suppertime” performance is the best I’ve ever seen and worth the price of admission alone. This is a full length comedy musical with a run time of 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission. I recommend the 2pm Sunday show for children under 8. But all the children I sat with were full engaged the entire time with the 8pm start. Treat your child (and your inner child) to this energetic, colorful and full of laughs performance perfect for the whole family.
