comment |
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a comedic stage musical inspired by Charles M. Schulz's comic strip Peanuts, with music and lyrics by Clark Gesner and book by "John Gordon" (a pseudonym for the cast and crew, who worked together to select and adapt dialogue from the original comic strips). The musical consists of a series of vignettes centered around Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang.First performed off-Broadway in 1967, with Gary Burghoff (who would go on to play Radar O'Reilly on M*A*S*H) heading up the cast as Charlie Brown and a young Bob Balaban playing Linus. It has been adapted to television twice, first as a live-action Hallmark Hall of Fame production in 1973 and again as an animated special in 1985 as part of the Bill Meléndez and Lee Mendelson canon of Peanuts television specials. It returned to the stage as a Broadway revival in 1999, which starred Anthony Rapp as Charlie Brown, Roger Bart as Snoopy, and Kristin Chenoweth as Sally (the latter two earned Tony Awards for their performances); and once more off-Broadway in 2016, a production that broke with tradition by casting child actors in all the roles.Trope Namer for Little Known Facts. |

Blatant Lies: Lucy's "Little Known Facts"; she claims that snow comes up during winter, among other things. Schroeder, for his book report on Peter Rabbit, summarizes the plot of Robin Hood instead, adding that "Peter Rabbit did sort of that kind of thing too." When Lucy finds out that Charlie Brown has a secret wish (to be nicknamed "Flash"), she begs him to tell her what it is, promising that she won't give it away. Later, when she asks Linus to rate her crabbiness on a scale of 0 to 100, she promises that she won't slug him if he gives an honest answer. She breaks both promises instantly. |

In the show's original version (though not the revival), at the end of the title song, Lucy sings along with the others telling Charlie Brown "You could be king," but then she adds "...if only you weren't so wishy-washy!" |

Early-Installment Weirdness |
| You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Theatre) / int_4f4372e9 |
comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Because the show was written fairly early in the comic strip's nearly 50-year run, it contains a little of this. The song "Little Known Facts" reflects the ditzy tendencies that Lucy had in the '50s and early '60s comics, which by the '70s were mostly phased out of her character. The original 1967 version of the show also stands out with its inclusion of Patty as a major character, though the Animated Adaptation and 1999 revival script both replace her with Sally. Some other major characters introduced from the late 1960s onward, such as Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Rerun, have only non-speaking background appearances or don't appear at all. |

Character Exaggeration: B.D. Wong played Linus with a pronounced lisp, despite his never really being portrayed as having one in the comic strip or the animated shows. It was apparently inspired by the slight lisp that Christopher Shea had when he played the role in A Charlie Brown Christmas, but Wong's affected lisp was much stronger than Shea's real one. |

Padding the Paper |
| You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Theatre) / int_ad08647 |
comment |
Padding the Paper: Charlie Brown and his friends are assigned to do a book report on The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Two of them follow this trope in some way: Lucy pads the assignment by adding unnecessary information (such as that the rabbit was named Peter) and by listing all the vegetables in Mr. McGregor's garden. When she reaches the end and still has about five words to go, she just plugs the space with a number of "very"s between "the end." Schroeder has difficulty finding anything to say about Peter Rabbit, until he says the book reminded him of Robin Hood. At which point he goes on a very lengthy and enthusiastic tangent about Robin Hood, occasionally making a token effort to connect it back to Peter Rabbit ("Away they ran... just like rabbits..."). |

Mundane Luxury: "Happiness" is an entire song about this trope, which is about the gang finding pleasure in the little things, like "tying your shoelace for the very first time" or "five different crayons." Justified as all the kids are really young, and Charlie Brown is usually a Butt-Monkey. |

Aesop Amnesia: After conducting a "crabbiness survey", Lucy has a despairing Heel Realization about how crabby she is, and the next scene opens with Schroeder remarking that she must know now that she can't be crabby anymore. Seconds later, Lucy enters furiously chasing Linus, demanding back a pencil he took from her, and threatening to tell Patty (or Sally) something he said about her if he doesn't. |

Damned by Faint Praise: Schroeder says that he "marvels" at Charlie Brown's "consistency" for having "never hit a home run" or "never struck out a hitter." Lucy after her "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Charlie Brown says that while he won't ever be "happy like Snoopy or lovely like me, you have the distinction to be, no one else but the remarkably unique Charlie Brown!" |

Calling Me a Logarithm: In "Glee Club Rehearsal", when Lucy and Linus are fighting over a pencil, she threatens to tell Patty (Sally in the revival) what he said about her. In the end she reveals that he called her an enigma, which shocks everyone. Patty (or Sally) becomes really upset, but then asks "What's an enigma?" No one else knows either. |

Suddenly Voiced: Snoopy, from the perspective of longtime Peanuts animation fans. Unlike the cartoons' usual Speechless portrayal of Snoopy, both this musical and the other Peanuts stage musical Snoopy!!! have him talk and sing to himself (though never to the kids), representing his Thought Bubble Speech from the comics. Rather than cut his lines or his songs, the Animated Adaptations of the two musicals are the only two Peanuts cartoons to have Snoopy's thoughts expressed in voiceover. In You're a Good Man... he's voiced by Robert Towers, while in Snoopy!!! he's voiced by Cam Clarke. |

Lucy has this gem after Schroeder silently reacts to her proposition of marriage: "My Aunt Marion was right. NEVER discuss marriage with a musician!" |

Composite Character: In the show's original version, Patty (not Peppermint Patty), a Generic Girl from the strip's early years who was eventually Demoted to Extra, serves as a stand-in for all the strip's non-Lucy girls, with a lot of Sally's Cloud Cuckoo Lander tendencies and with Frieda's eagerness to get Snoopy to chase rabbits. In the 1999 revival, Sally takes her place with her own personality from the strip, but she also takes on Frieda's "rabbit chasing" with Snoopy. |
