History Theatre / YoureAGoodManCharlieBrown

First performed off-Broadway in 1967, with Gary Burghoff (who'd go on to play Radar O'Reilly on ''Series/{{MASH}}'') heading the cast as Charlie Brown and a young Creator/BobBalaban playing Linus. It's been adapted to television twice, first as a live-action ''Series/HallmarkHallOfFame'' production in 1973 and then as an [[AnimatedAdaptation animated special]] in 1985. It returned to the stage as a Broadway revival in 1999, which starred [[Theatre/{{Rent}} Anthony Rapp]] as Charlie Brown and earned Tony Awards for [[Theatre/TheProducers Roger]] [[Film/YoungFrankenstein Bart]] (Snoopy) and Creator/KristinChenoweth (Sally); and once more off-Broadway in 2016, in a production that broke with tradition by casting child actors in all the roles.

* CurbStompCushion: During the baseball game, we see the scoreboard and that Charlie Brown's team is

* AdaptationalHeroism: A minor bit: Charlie Brown actually ''does'' start his book report at the end of the song rather than put it off until the next day.

** 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."

''You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown'' is a stage musical inspired by Charles M. Schulz's comic strip ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}''. It involves a series of vignettes centered around Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In-universe, Linus posits for his book report that Peter Rabbit is a NiceGuy rather than a VillainProtagonist, who is driven by SiblingRivalry peer-pressure to steal from Farmer McGregor, whom Linus believes is an AntiVillain "farmer and humanitarian".

** Schroeder, for his book report on ''[[Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit Peter Rabbit]]'', summarizes the plot of Myth/RobinHood instead, adding that "Peter Rabbit was sort of that kind of thing too."

* CriticalResearchFailure: InUniverse, Linus' part of "The Book Report" is a fairly blatant example of this, as his overly-detailed analysis on ''Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit'' has very little to do with what's actually going on in the book. When he goes on a long explanation on "the sociological implications of family pressures so great as to drive an otherwise moral rabbit to perform acts of thievery which he consciously knew were against the law," and claims that "Peter Rabbit is established from the start as a benevolent hero," anyone who's actually ''read'' the book knows he's talking out of his ear here -- Peter is a rather amoral protagonist, the entire story happens because he ''refuses'' to go along with his family, and his first action in the book is a willful act of disobedience; nowhere in the story does he display any sort of benevolence ''or'' heroism.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: One number is a complex, metaphor-laden quartet, crossing multiple musical styles, and has at one point four main characters singing four different melodies with four different texts, reaching an intense musical climax and showing off the vocal talents of the soprano lead. The subject of the song? A 100-word book report on "Peter Rabbit." It predated [[Music/{{Queen}} "Bohemian Rhapsody"]] by eight years.

* AdaptedOut: Patty (''not'' Peppermint Patty). Sally replaces her in most scenes, while Marcie replaces her in one.

* HollywoodToneDeaf: Ilana Levine, Lucy's actress in the Broadway revival, deliberately makede her voice scratchy and annoying.

* HeadDesk: Charlie Brown bangs his head against a tree when he can't reason with Lucy about how her "Little Known Facts" are wrong.
