"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" is a classic Broadway musical. 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!!Free Music Review: Great classic musical. . my children love it!

The 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 is to purchase the original 1967 Off-Broadway production which is much more superior to this. The voices of the characters sound like what I imagined them to be. In the original production, Lucy is not a singer. She goes off key and is aggressive. This new production has a Lucy that can sing and sounds too pretty if you ask me.
Buy the original cast recording, it is much more superior and fun!

I first bought this CD when I saw the performance by Kristin Chenoweth and Stanley Wayne Mathis at the Tony Awards. This is a great quality recording, and the songs are kid friendly- which is becoming increasingly difficult to find on Broadway- but adults can appreciate them too! I am neither kid, nor adult (rather, 16 next Saturday...) but enjoy this CD more than my 12 year old brother, who is starting to appreciate a good musical when he sees one. (He is quite the Altar Boyz fan).
While I do agree with another reviewer that Lucy is rather screechey, it is the voice always imagined when reading the comic strips.
I strongly reccomend this CD to those who are fans of the cast, each of whom are truly exceptional, Charlie Brown, or people with young children. Music is great for kids, and of course, this has a great message!
Enjoy!
