The sing-songed phrase,”Oh Charliee Brown,” has been on TV and in the background of American life since the 1950s. The Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schulz is perhapsthe most recognizable cartoon animation in pop culture (the gang hasn’t slowed down, The Peanuts Movie will be released Nov. 6). When Cardinals for the Appreciation of Musical Theater (CAMT) announced they would be doing the musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” it was met with excitement and skeptitism. Peanuts is the longest running story in American history, and the task to make it fresh is no easy feat.
