I was recently cast as Linus for my Middle School's production. The problem is, though, that I have at least 4 inches on everyone else in the cast. (I bet Lucy will have a hard time punching ME in the face.)
I was just casted as Lucy in my high school for this show! ^^ We're doing to older version, though, so sadly My New Philosophy and Beethoven Day are out of the picture. I'm still very excited nonetheless!
@glancesherlock Whhew! Lucky. :D Though really I would want to be Lucy just so I could run across the stage screaming about how its the last day of my life. Oh well. Good luck!
ah why can't i sing if i could sing i would have gotten a good role in this play insteed i got girl # 4 she had 1 line so i ended up crying and quiting
I'm doing drama this year, I hope my drama teacher chooses this for our play. Last year they did "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and they did "Welcome To The Haunted House" And the year before that they did Annie. Please do this ;D
I'm stage managing for this show right now. :) I love it ! But we have two cast because it's through a mentoring program :) I can't wait until later this month for our show....
i have to do a play in school and i have to do this song i have the parts of charlie brown i have SOOOOOO MANY PARTS HELP AND EVERYBODY IS COUNTING ON ME BECAUSE HAVE A GOOD VOICE (which is true) lol by the way good song i love it
@TheFrankee02 yea I'm getting paid to be Linus for a theater company this summer....but i'm a tenor...maybe baratenor, but this is gunna be rough haha
@ppgbuttercup22: Yeah, that's like people demanding that all people who play the blockhead be blond like CB himself. Very silly and ignorant, not to mention biased, IMHO.
my older brother's amazing class did this 14yrs ago with an 8th grade cast that i think was better sounding than this version. maybe cause they sounded like kids! :) oh the good 'ole days! sometimes i think everyone who loves musicals should live in our own planet for a little while. I love ppl who love this stuff! ps. The ending to this song... I love it!!! :D
i love musicals too i do not know if the sound better or not but i love how kristan chenowithe id that is how i spell her name sorry i am a bad speller any i love how she sings she is asowme you sould here she sings in wicked and she realy sounds like a kid her singing i do not know it is differnt when you sing and when you talk .but i love the sound of there vocies i bet the people in your bothers show sound good to
nnn I can always listen to this song and reminisce back to my senior year of high school when I played charlie brown in this amazing musical. such great memories. thanks for the upload!
but there were some difrences. snoopy and linus were played by girls, and in the beggining, they all talk seperatly, so u can actually hear what theyre saying.
@AttomicallyLOL We're doing it like that too. Snoopy was supposed to be played by a girl, but not enough girls tried it, so it got biffed to Snoopy being a guy.(Which is me, actually...)
@Damien9607: Well, to be fair, Snoopy is a boy dog in canon, anyway. Not that it matters though, for as long as the casting is good, the musical is sure to do well.
I have a huge bond with this show. When they were teachers, my parents directed this play at their school. My mom has all sorts of funny stories about this show. And we have the score from the show, with My New Philosophy!
The revival is the version I like best, because it has more solo vocals from the main characters which I think are wonderful, there is harmonizing and the music is really catchy.
Ah, I loved this revival. Not only is it an adorable show, but the new songs/harmonies/arrangements are great! Plus the cast! ROGER BART AND KRISTIN CHENOWETH STOLE THIS! They are amaaaazing.
...I love the tiny little things Anthony is doing to his voice to sound like a kid. It's adorable. I also adore Kristin Chenoweth, B.D. Wong...all of them. :)
Being a part of this musical was seriously one of the best events of my life. Seriously soooo much fun. All the music here is great, but especially this one.
*Rockinamber13* Yeah me too, i'm playing in the choir in the musical and also playing as a woodstook. this is going to be sooo much fun! I can wait!!!
Brings back great memories! When this production came around, I was cast as Snoopy...Thanks for uploading! Charlie Brown makes life so much more simpleXD Plus, it's ANTHONY RAPP! =D
