Clark Gesner's musicalization of Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" comic strips was a hit off-Broadway in 1967 and on Broadway in 1999. This video presents 49 minutes of the show, combining the familiar look of "Peanuts" animated television specials with Gesner's charming skits and songs, including the title tune, Snoopy's ode to eating "Suppertime," the Beethoven adaptation "Schroeder," the baseball yarn "T-E-A-M," and the sweet-as-a-warm-puppy anthem "Happiness." It should be noted that Gesner's clever score, while inspired by the actual strips, is aimed at a slightly older viewing audience than are most "Peanuts" videos, and that these young voices occasionally strain to keep up with its demands. Still, it's solid entertainment, and for anyone who performed the show in school and wishes there were a stage performance recorded on video, this is the next best thing. --David Horiuchi

They sent the wrong Charlie Brown movie. I tried to tell them twice, but never heard anything back from them.

You would love this musical created just for diehard Peanuts fans. I bought this for my sons to enjoy and how much Charlie Brown brought enjoyment to me all these years.
Rating: - should stay ON broadway
We rented this for our 5-year old niece from the library, as she likes the peanuts cartoons (race for your life, a boy named charlie brown, Great pumpkin, easter beagle, etc).I had no idea it was a broadway musical.My niece just sat there staring at the TV, chagrined.A few minutes passed and it couldn't even hold her attention anymore.I gave it an honest try but after 15 grueling and torturous minutes of cheesy song numbers and smarmy antics, I turned it off - my niece didn't even protest ...
