The Book Report - You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

[por22ito]

well it was obvious that they used an instrumental, which is never a good idea.

and no offense, but this production looks kinda cheap. did you guys obtain rights to perform this show??

[mastersackie]

schroeder sucked

[skiisk]

why was the fast part slowed down and the slow parts sped up >.<

[TheCozyCreeper]

THAT IS ONE HOT CHARLIE BROWN.

oh, and the singing was good too.

[1515skylar]

it's so fast but good

[smyley1994]

we had our final show of this last night! it was sooo much fun!

[starrinshelby]

@smyley1994 That is so awesome!!

[ChristophePhilippe]

Does anyone else get the feeling that this C.B. is thinking about his plans for Friday night while he's singing?

[SadieWendt28]

yikes

[BeastyBdoug]

@ Starrinshelby

It really is! Who knew that youtube would be such a great way to learn my lines??

[starrinshelby]

@BeastyBdoug

lol

[BeastyBdoug]

We had our last performance of this play today. Thank you soooo much for posting this video! This song wouldve been so much harder to learn if i hadnt watched this 50 times!

[starrinshelby]

@BeastyBdoug

I am soooo glad that your performance went well:) LOVE this musical!!

[ItisTheEvilMonkey]

that charlie brown looks like the computernerd01

[starrinshelby]

@ItisTheEvilMonkey

LOL

[bizzypeace67]

@ItisTheEvilMonkey haha ikr?

[TheNatanator2011]

No one has any emotion or expression. It sounds and looks like they just memorized some notes and repeated them. There's barely any acting in this clip at all. Also, the singing isn't very advanced. At least the parts where everyone is singing sound very good. Now I don't like bashing on videos but I felt the need to give some constructed criticism. I have seen/heard much worse, so good job!

[starrinshelby]

@TheNatanator2011

Gracias

[pinkjaguar12]

in our version we had them repeat the chrous and charlie brown say "I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET!"

[starrinshelby]

@pinkjaguar12

Nice:)

[starrinshelby]

@Athenetrocks Gracias 

[BeastyBdoug]

@starrinshelby

Thanks!:D

[BeastyBdoug]

I think ive watched this at least 25 times!u guys did great! Im charlie brown in our play

[starrinshelby]

@BeastyBdoug

I loved doing this show...Break a leg Charlie Brown:)

[horseanddoglover777]

Dang Lucy can sing high. I'm going to be in a musical with a lot of high pitched singing in it but when I sing high it sounds kinda squeaky any advice?

[starrinshelby]

@horseanddoglover777

Relax your shoulders and neck:)

Thanks!

Break a leg!

[fangzy7]

@horseanddoglover777

raise your eyebrows - it sounds weird but it helps a LOT

sorry if this is too late, but maybe it will help in the future.

:)

[starrinshelby]

@fangzy7 Good advice:)

[videocritic4u]

charlie brown, you're really cute.

[starrinshelby]

@videocritic4u

He really is!!

[videocritic4u]

haha I <3 this schroder

[starrinshelby]

@videocritic4u

Funny, huh?

[1zark]

Lincoln High School in Ellwood City, PA is doing this same play. You guys did so much better than we are getting it to work. I play the part of Rerun, Linus and Lucy's little brother. lol XD It's pretty fun though. We have a huge orchestra and we do a musical every year. This year it's Charlie Brown.

[starrinshelby]

@1zark

Thank you so much. We had a great time doing this. I love big musicals!

[Loveletter102]

[MayGreen91]

[starrinshelby]

@MayGreen91

[MayGreen91]

[ConnorMyersTv]

[starrinshelby]

[Eponine05]

[countrygirl8ful]

[starrinshelby]

[starrinshelby]

@countrygirl8ful

El Paso, Texas:)

[countrygirl8ful]

@starrinshelby

Oh, my acting school had a production in the same.

[starrinshelby]

@countrygirl8ful

Cool...I hope it went great:)

[countrygirl8ful]

@starrinshelby

I hoped it did, too.

I was in Cats, that same year.

[lu4y4pants]

Pretty sweet. I can't stop laughing at Charlie's shirt for some reason...

[starrinshelby]

@lu4y4pants

 lol

[quixotehan]

the guy who plays linus is good but the rest are just ok

[starrinshelby]

@quixotehan

He was and is STILL an awesome performer:)

[Jayneykorn]

Love Lucy's dress. =]

[starrinshelby]

@Jayneykorn

Sweet...Can you say Good Will? lol

[bewateverr]

ooooooh charlie is cuuute ;)

[starrinshelby]

@bewateverr

AMEN!!!

[bewateverr]

@starrinshelby lol?

[starrinshelby]

@bewateverr

He really is a cuttieee!!!

[jfj619]

watching these guys makes me realize how good my High School was at Theatre.

Eastlake 99

[J96K01]

who was best?

[mymontefrios]

wow the guy playing Schroeder is tone deaf as shit

[sorrel1000]

Timing was a bit off with Charlie Brown :)

Our school did this play as well! Isn't is fun?

[starrinshelby]

It was soooooo much fun!!!

[xXxfallentearsxXx]

Schroder was A LOT more off.

[sorrel1000]

Schroeder was, but he still did a good job.

[starrinshelby]

We had such a good time with this and were really like a small family...I think I was 13 or 14:)

[starrinshelby]

Our director almost pulled this song....

[tehsoupie]

I really liked this performance. :) It gives me faith in our troupe. I don't sing this number (I play Snoopy in our upcoming production), but in my opinion this is probably the hardest song to sing. You guys did awesome!

[starrinshelby]

Good Luck with your troupe:) Try and post an excerpt....Thanks:)

[isawusmile2day]

haha im snoopy too :D

[ppgbuttercup22]

they were really good at the memorization, and they had nice strong voices, but they were going WAY too fast.

[starrinshelby]

Thanks for the comment...so long ago, but FUN:)

[ppgbuttercup22]

:) :P :)

[samssoccer123]

why did they sing the parts fast?

[starrinshelby]

idk...we just went with the music lol

[actressandfilmer]

lucy wasnt obnoxious enough in my opinion. she had a good voice she just wasnt obnoxious enough. actually not really obnoxious at all. she a good actor and a good singer just not fit for the role. schroeder seemed to dull for me he had the right voice except for the fact that he sounded kinda dull. but charlie brown and linus were good.

[starrinshelby]

They were really good:)

[TheBittersweetz]

lol! lucy did a great job, but charlie...he certaintly was NOT wishy-washy-ish! (no offense charlie brown)

[starrinshelby]

Thanks so much.... but CB was sure cute!

[TheBittersweetz]

:[]...u play lucy in the play?! wow, kewlio! but anyway, good job on the play! and yh, he is prety cute X3

[TravisInWonderland]

The boy who plays Charlie Brown looks way too confident and smug...not really anything like the comic or cartoon. Lucy is great though and has a nice voice.

[starrinshelby]

Thanks....Lucy:)

[avahicreasei]

Great job but your description only mentions one person. What about all the other people who also were fantastic? Don't be selfish silly

[starrinshelby]

The cast were all terrific in this production including the director:)

I did not mention names because I am not sure that they feel comfortable, but:

Connor (Linus)

Darin (Charlie Brown)

Farzad (Shroeder)

[georgezimmer]

I love this song, good job

[starrinshelby]

This was a long time ago....Good memories:)

[nerdett555]

and the guy who played charlie brown could have done better too. but lucy and linus was great

[starrinshelby]

Thanks so much:-0

[nerdett555]

the guy who played shroder could have done better

[chicofido1]

im schroeder n ma towns play n im 10x better dan dat schroeder

[starrinshelby]

Well good luck:)

[chicofido1]

thnx bro

[stinkodepivot12]

they talk abit to FAST

[starrinshelby]

Yeah...sometimes hard to understand :)

[chicofido1]

ya think

[starrinshelby]

Thanks for the comment:)

[kittiekat10105]

I like this! Schroeder was hysterical. They all were!

[qwwak]

I am doing this show at my school too I am playing all the parts do u think I Can do it?

PS

ur stupid

[starrinshelby]

Hey...you must be good since you got cast in the role....I know you can do it:)

Good luck!!

[1INKSAGE]

I am linus understudy i decided i am going to do my hair like charlie it looks tight lol linus hair is ok ..... but i would charlies is tighter lol

[starrinshelby]

Good luck as Linus....

That sounds fun, and yeah, Charlie Brown's hair was tight:)

[coolriver1999]

THIS SUCKS

[starrinshelby]

okay:-/

[YouCantPullMeDown16]

Wow...what's with all the negative comments?!?!

I liked it : )

[starrinshelby]

Yearh, but the positive ones make it all worth it:)

[HerbieBaby123]

I'm sorry I'm just doing this show now, and get a little upset with performances that could be done a lot better.

You should've at least done the parts where they all sing at the same time!

[starrinshelby]

I understand:)

[HerbieBaby123]

I don't know how it has this many view.

They didn't even do any of the canons.

FAIL.

[starrinshelby]

Again....like okay...

[HerbieBaby123]

I'm sorry but this isn't very good. Schroeder is too flat. And is not in any way believable. He was definitely the worst.

Lucy doesn't have enough energy.

Charlie needs to cut his hair if he wants to be Charlie.

And I blame the director for a lot of the things that went wrong like the music.

[starrinshelby]

Gosh, I listened to your song on your site and it is pretty good. Usually I like to leave positive comments!!

[seuss101]

just a few problems with it:

Schroeder kept going flat throughout.

Also, Linus should be in red and Schroeder should be in Purple...it's the traditional costumes.

[starrinshelby]

Thanks for the info...we had a good time and did the best on the budget (non) that we had...It turned out to be a good performance overall:)

[seuss101]

I wasn't saying it wasnt good. Like I said, only a few problems with it. I didnt actually mind the costume thing. It was just Schroeder that bothered me. Overall, really not bad though

[starrinshelby]

Cool beans:0

[thatslaurenforyou]

can you check out our schools production of charlie brown? we did this song on youtube. its under:

Book Report :D

(include the :D in it haah)

[starrinshelby]

Wow...good job:)

[starrinshelby]

Huh?

[lardrill101]

you all did wonderful! i just have one problem.. sing louder please! u all are great singers! but i cant ear you that well!

[starrinshelby]

Thanks for the sweet comment:)

[ChocoCat300]

GOOD JOB!

[starrinshelby]

Thanks!!!

[cameronjr8]

@starrinshelby Can you put "T-E-A-M","Glee Club Rehearsal","Schroeder",and "Supper time"?

[starrinshelby]

@cameronjr8

I will try:)

[feili005]

sorry, that pretty much sucked.

schroeder looks & sounds gay.

lucy was too slow

charlie brown doesn't LOOK like charlie brown.

[starrinshelby]

OOKkkayyy,,,

[sparkletude]

Charlie Brown is HOT!

[starrinshelby]

Yep Yep Yep

[takemeforgranted]

this is so cuteee :)

charlie brown looks like an emo kid :P

[starrinshelby]

He is sooo cute!!!

[MoronickProductions]

wow... compared to my theatre that was horrible

[starrinshelby]

Gosh...wow...okay:)

[akeysandjg]

AWW! They didn't do the round in the beginning!!!!!! :( sad.

[starrinshelby]

:(:(

[xXxfallentearsxXx]

I was sad that the part I played when I did this in high school didn't have all her parts in there. Sally runs around singing rabbits a lot more than is in there. =(

[tonton42]

My School won't do it because we normally do big ensemble stuff :(

[starrinshelby]

Really? What School?

[tonton42]

Franklin High in CA

[starrinshelby]

Is it a pretty good school?

[tonton42]

actually it's the highest in our district so i'd say yes plus we came back from a theater festival and came back with a bronze for a one act and a silver and gold with our monologues we are doing Beauty and the Beast this year and so far it's awesome

[starrinshelby]

Awesome...keep on doing great things!

[gtrarmstrong]

wow im a much better singer than their charlie brown guy lol i am charlie brown in my highschools musical this year

[starrinshelby]

He was such a great Charlie Brown:)

[gtrarmstrong]

yea im sure your right. he probably accidentally messed up. I shouldnt have made assumptions like that. im sorry. people mess up lol. ive done it too. sorry bout that haha

[starrinshelby]

No big deal...we are all just having fun out there lol

[gtrarmstrong]

yea i noticed its a really...random play. its pretty much like the comic strip. no obvious plot. basically the plot is charlie brown thinks his life sucks and through the random scenes he realizes that his life isnt so bad after all

[starrinshelby]

It is REALLY random, huh? That's what makes it fun:)

[gtrarmstrong]

yea lol the glee club scene is a tough song. we practiced that a lot today. HOw did your cast do it?/ mine is having quite a tough time with it.

[starrinshelby]

Is that Beethoven's Day?

[gtrarmstrong]

no in the script it says glee club ha maybe you got a different script, i did the play in 6th grade too and the book report wasnt in it and neither was the kite scene, so there may be different scripts haha

[starrinshelby]

Maybe LOL

[mrsmahadesrosiers]

yeah theree is a broadway jr version and a broadway version, most people do the broadway version, since the book report is a tough song and its not in your script then maybe you have the broadway jr. version (we're doing this in school)

[starrinshelby]

Oh...cool:)

[gtrarmstrong]

o word. wait who are you talkin to? haha i have the book report in my script. i didnt have it in 6th grade. but now i remember that we altered a little. idk, but it was still good.

[starrinshelby]

LOL cool:)

[robstyle001]

CHARLIE BROWN WAS SO HOTT

[starrinshelby]

Still is....

[JekyllAndHyde1990]

I think he doesn't fits in this role... he looks to good :D

he doesn't looks like a looser^^

but I must confess ... I don't like his voice-.-

[starrinshelby]

That's cool:)

[Tinmanchromed77]

that was a cute performance! id like to see this song performed by all those who are leaving hateful comments and see how well they do. morons.

[starrinshelby]

I respect everyone's opinion, but yeah, sometimes it is just mean:(

Thanks for your support!

[katerbuggz]

The lucy sucks.

[starrinshelby]

Thanks:)
