You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown – The Musical, Feb 7-8

The BFCCPS Fine and Performing Arts Department is proud to present two performances of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown – The Musical on Friday, February 7, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, February 8 at 2:00 p.m. at the Thomas D. Mercer Auditorium in Franklin. The musical features BFCCPS students in grades six through eight, along with a live orchestra comprised of students, parents and alumni. 

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a musical based on the characters created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz in his comic strip, Peanuts. Though considered a “good man” by his friends, Charlie Brown can't seem to win the heart of the Little Red-Haired Girl or his friend Lucy who has a crush on the piano-playing Schroeder. Meanwhile Snoopy and Linus daydream and the rest of the friends battle with kites, school, baseball and misunderstandings before finally coming to realize what makes them truly happy. 

The show won the 1999 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical and features songs “My New Philosophy”, “Me and My Blanket” and “Happiness.” 

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for children and are available at the door. Tickets may also be purchased in advance at the BFCCPS office at 201 Main Street in Franklin.
