Final Performances of 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown' This Weekend

Article by the Town of Lexington

“Good grief!” The perfect family show is presently being staged by The Lexington Players, starring that loveable balding round-headed boy with unfortunate luck, and everyone’s favorite beagle at his side.  

Musical snapshots show Schroeder and Lucy at the piano, Charlie Brown and Lucy at the psychiatry booth, Linus with his blanket, Snoopy with his supper dish, and the whole gang at the baseball game.

This award winning musical captures Charles Schulz’s ability to portray universal aspects of human nature through the mouths of children.  People may remember the launch of Kristin Chenoweth’s career when she performed the song “My Philosophy” as Sally at the Tony Awards in 1999.  While the title of the musical suggests a children’s show, there is something sure to be enjoyed and rediscovered by all ages. 

“Our recent productions of  ‘13’ and ‘Spring Awakening’ played to sold out audiences and received standing ovations,” said the energetic and smiling Producer of The Lexington Players, Sal Jones.  “And we were thrilled with the support we received from the local businesses, there are some wonderfully generous people in Lexington who are making dreams come true.  Their ads in our playbill really help cover expenses.”
