REVIEWS:
"The songs are a delight!"
The New York Times
"Familiar and fun, this is a show that comforts your nostalgic inner child while welcoming the newer generations with open arms."
DC Metro Theatre Arts
"Spruced up with some new material and new songs, but its humble virtues are the same ones you’d remember from the version you a) saw, b) directed or c) starred in at Robin Hood Summer Camp: perky, pleasant tunes, the genial silliness of adults playing little kids (and a beagle), the indelible appeal of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts creations."
Charles Isherwood, Variety
"All the things you love about Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Schroeder and Snoopy are there – the infamous little redhead girl that Charlie is so in love with, Lucy’s lemonade stand turned psychiatrist stand, Snoopy’s red house and more… With the first notes of the overture my eight-year-old and I melted into our seats ready for the fun to take us away."
Holli Harms, New York Theatre Guide
"A small miracle... Almost everything works, because almost everything is effortless."
Walter Kerr, The New York Times
