| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Principal cast: Anthony Rapp (Charlie Brown); B.D. Wong (Linus); Roger Bart (Snoopy); Kristen Chenoweth (Sally); Ilana Levine (Lucy); Stanley Wayne Mathis (Schroeder). | | Additional personnel: Kimberly Grigsby (conductor, piano, keyboards); Kenny Brescia (guitar); Jill Jaffe (violin, viola); Christine MacDonnell (reeds); Mary Ann McSweeney (bass); Joseph Mowatt (percussion) | | Recorded at Avatar Studios, Studio A, New York, New York on January 20, 1999. | | Songs by Clark Gesner with musical supervision, arrangements and additional material by Andrew Lippa. | | YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. | | Lucy loves the schizoid Shroeder, who prefers the piano. Snoopy loves the world until sudden and uncontrollable mood changes cause his personality to split into that of the Red Baron. Linus is plagued by addictive, compulsive behavior. The only character with a sense of proportion, Charlie Brown, is cast aside as a misfit here. The psychiatrist-playing Lucy projects her own frustrations and shortcomings onto the vulnerable Charlie Brown, who listens attentively, and placates Lucy, calling her "a true friend." | | In the case of the 1999 cast recording of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, all this psychoanalysis works itself out song by song under the guise of a Broadway play suitable for children. The formally rejected Charlie Brown becomes an unintentional Buddha, forcing the other characters to embrace their own shortcomings, as he finds his own self-acceptance by the play's end, espousing the gem, "happiness is anything and anyone that's loved by you." |
