Synopsis: If, like a lot of the members of the audience at the performance I attended, you're four or five years or old, then You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is filled with simple, happy moments of fun and song that will delight you. If, like me, you're old enough to remember the heyday of the first Peanuts craze (back in the sixties, when "Happiness Is. . ." was a catchphrase as popular as any yada yada thought up by Jerry Seinfeld), then you'll find yourself time and again wearing a smile of recognition as beloved iconic moments from nearly fifty years of Charles M. Schulz's cartoon come to life on the stage of the Ambassador Theatre. Charlie Brown tries to fly a kite. . .Lucy bosses Linus around shamelessly. . .Snoopy battles his old nemesis the Red Baron. At the end, the whole gang concludes in song that "Happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you," and you go all misty, remembering the long-ago afternoon when you sang that song in your sixth-grade school pageant. nytheatre.com | ||||
