You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown — Page 2

Hey cool, Im a senior at Bethel-Tate high school and i just got the Charlie Brown role too. Its such a good part. I am excited

Her voice isn't the bad part, it's so perfect for the character- It's more the intonation and how she ruins every chord by singing out of tune.

I have the CD to YAGMCB and i love it so much. I remember seeing Kristin perform "My New Philosophy" and the cast also do "Happiness" at the Tony's a while back when it was up for best revival. I really love the cast especially Anthony Rapp, Kristin and Roger Bart. I wish i had gone to seen it and i think its more popular now, then it was when it was on b'way.

i was schroeder! i love this show so much. i'm directing it next year for my theatre company. can't wait. um, we should do a bww yagmcb with all of us, don't you think?

hey! congrats! that is a really fun show... youll have a great time. I was Lucy..... it is one of my favorite parts to this date. Keep posting!

hey! congrats on the part man! i sold my soul to YAGMCB last september and im still playing Sally. But im loving it! im so excited for you! the show didnt do well on bway because the cost for maintaining the set was soo expensive! for example during "my blanket and me" the blanket actually danced. for me the best thing when studying lines is to just read the play over and over agian and not focus on my own lines. that way, you know the show by heart. you know what line is in what scene and its so much easier to remember cues. remember its an ensemble show! dont do your own performance, take and give the moments. also, the show isnt just for little kids. its a show for adults too. the message is in "Happiness." there is so much going on in life right now to get wrapped up on...but if you just take the little moments..a butterfly on a flower...a working pencil sharpener...it can make your day if you let it. there is so much behind that song. when performing it..make the audience believe you. there is a little bit of every character in all of us. there is a lesson to be learned form each. also, dont forget to play the innocence in your character...they use big words, but theyre still little kids. hes a lovable guy, but he can also get aggravated like any other person. you see that in the comics when he yells people off the strip. :) also during the baseball scene when hes getting inturrupted repeatedly...hes ticked and trying to hold it in. keep it simple and sweet. especially in singing.... not "believe what youre told" but "bee-leeve what yuu-re told." get it? theyre kids. try to observe and little kids you know..particularly six year olds. :) listen to the recording.. youll hear it. :) and most importantly.. HAVE FUN!!!!! :) im so excited for you. :) break a leg! check out snoopy.com

I'll tell ya one thing its a REALLY fun part to play! I was in YAGMCB in my camp in 2003 (i was 11) and I played Schroeder. There was only 1 boy, who played Linus so the rest of us girls got the guy parts. My best friend Carly played Charlie Brown and had a blast!

Lucy--- def the biggest part... and the most fun.. i played her this past summer... and im a blonde and i had to wear the most awful wig ever.. in the summer remember, oh god, so hot no AC

I love how each major part has their own song. That's why its a great show for high schools b/c everyone who is one of the group of major roles basically has their own song. I've been DYING to be in a production of it...I love all of the male rolls!
