Free Music Notes for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1999 Broadway Revival Cast)
Free Music Review: Fun for the family!
Hit: 5 Stars
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!

The revival was fantastic, deleting that eye-and-ear soar Patty and adding in dear, sweet, melodramatic Sally Brown. Speaking of, Kristin Chenoweth blew me away with her amazing vocals (as she did on the Rosie O'Donnell show in a song I'll NEVER get out of my head!) Ilana Levine's killer comic timing left my side in stitches. One severe downside - B. D. Wong portraying Linus with a lisp. I believe Lucy says it best in 'My New Philosophy': Aaaaarrgggghh! Anyway, I hope something will be done to preserve everything about this musical. Maybe a video release, a live taping from the show (Doubtful!) or maybe they could rework that 'Your A Good Man, Charlie Brown' cartoon from 1985 to conform to this musical. Oh well, in any event, the Peanuts are ensured to stick with us for another fifty years with this breath of fresh air, even after it's retired.Free Music Review: i could see the colorful settings

I bought this CD to practice for my part in my middle schools version of "YAGMCB" in which i play Linus. I also purchased the 1967 version and, in comparison, the '67 version sounds more like "It's your Funeral, Charlie Brown." Not that it was very bad, but it lacked the excitement that this one most definately has. The cast of this one was very enthusiastic about it. They sounded, like a bunch of very talented kids. Through hearing their singing and seeing the pictures of the characters, as I listened to the songs, I could actually see them being performed in my head. I could see the bright, colorful settings, and the characters interacting in front of them. All in all, this CD is definately worth getting, for fans of "Good ol' Charlie Brown" as well as fans of the Musical Theatre.Free Music Review: An Awesome, Fun Recording!

After hearing my friends copy of this CD, I was certain that I must have it! All the songs are lively and fun, and bring the Peanuts characters to life. Anthony Rapp is a more than PERFECT Charlie Brown! Kristin Chenoweth fits the part of Sally extremely well and really deserved her Tony! Every line of every song she sings is delightful, and brings the comedy of her character to life. The music is fun and exciting, and has a real happy childlike feeling to it. If you are a Broadway or music fan, I would recommend that you give this CD a try. Just listen to a few of the samples (esp. "Opening/You're A Good Man Charlie Brown", "My New Philosophy", "Snoopy" and "The Baseball Game"-my favorites) and you will see how good the music really is!Free Music Review: FINALY!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting so long for a copy of YAGMCB. Between borowing the origonal off b-way cast and listening to my dad's (i'm only 15) halmark hall of fame vinal album I have been longing to finaly own the music on CD. Finaly the new bway recording is here. The music sounds better than ever! i love the new orchistrations. i understand the the smaller version of the show is not present on this CD but the emotion jow and exuberence of the origonal are all still in tact. The cast rocks, the music rocks and i love this show even more now than i used to. I found myself laughing out loud to almost every song including the great new songs. If you want a CD that will spread some "happienes" then your'e a good man charlie brown is for you!
