Whether or not you are familiar with Clark Gesner's musical you're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, you are bound to recognize Track 21 of the York Theatre Company 2016 Off-Broadway Cast Recording. The theme 'Linus and Lucy,' written by Vince Guaraldi, is a familiar tune to all who have seen the well-known animated specials featuring the Peanuts kids. There is something oddly soothing about this gentle, understated theme, with its rolling feeling of continuity paired with plinking notes of whimsy, that has become so closely associated with Charles M. Schulz's legacy of 17,897 comic strips. The you're A Good Man, Charlie Brown band played 'Linus and Lucy' as walking-out music after the show, prompting much of the audience to stay and hear it through to the end.

Making a political satire with real bite that manages to retain its humor is quite a difficult task, but it’s accomplished with some real flair by In The Loop (Mpi, Rated R, Blu-Ray-$29.98 Srp) which, in its tale about a low-level British politician’s unfortunate comments leading to a joint war effort alongside the Us, is probably our generation’s Dr. Strangelove. Bonus materials include a behind-the-scenes featurette,...

Peanuts has proven exceptionally enduring and adaptable as Charles Schulz expanded his cast of characters to reflect the times and changing fascination with different players. The strip debuted in 1950 and within a decade the characters were used as spokesmen for commercial products. In 1965, though, the horizons expanded dramatically with the successful Christmas special.
Not only did that that give us Vince Guaraldi’s score and decades of specials, but it inspired others. In 1967, Clark Gesner unexpectedly showed up with a series of songs which he envisioned as being brought to the stage. Taken Off-Broadway, the songs were kept but the story was evolved. That initial version of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown was best known for spotlight Gary Burghoff as Charlie Brown, just a few years before we met him as Radar O’Reilly. That first cast also included actor/director Bob Balaban as Linus.
