Free Music Notes for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1999 Broadway Revival Cast)Free Music Review: Fun -- But Not as Much as the OriginalThe 1999 revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" retains much of the joy of the original, 1967 production; unfortunately, the contagious, simple fun and happiness of the original has been buried beneath several would-be layers of "modern" Broadway "polish," most notably new, up-tempo arrangements that contort several of the original songs' meters into ugly new patterns (e.g., compare the two versions of "T-E-A-M" -- even the new version reverts, jarringly, to the old meter by the final chorus, a tacit admission that it shouldn't have been tinkered with in the first place) and an emphasis on "star power" that simply wasn't present in the off-Brodway recording. B.D. Wong's Linus is overwrought (e.g., his book report on Peter Rabbit, while textually the same as in the original version, is delivered in overdramatic tones completely at odds with the way in which the character is seriously but calmly reflecting on the book), and Kristin Chenowith' Sally tries, unsuccessfully, to steal the show with a new number, "My New Philosophy." There is also a misguided attempt to deepen Schultz' already sufficient characterizations -- witness the mangling of the titular opening number by the addition of a morose interior monologue from Charlie Brown, trying to figure out, in existential terms, what being a "good man" is all about.
