Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang navigate the trials of childhood — from unrequited love for the Little Red-Haired Girl to Lucy's psychiatric booth to Snoopy's fantasies of being a World War I flying ace. Through a series of comic vignettes, the lovably insecure Charlie Brown discovers that happiness can be found in life's small moments.

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a 1967 musical with music and lyrics by Clark Gesner and (in a 1999 revision) Andrew Lippa. It is based on the characters created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz in his comic strip Peanuts. The musical has been a popular choice for amateur theatre productions because of its small cast and simple staging.
