Press Reviews

"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

"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

"The songs are a delight!"

— Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
