Available Roles (One per Cast):

Charlie Brown - Age 8 (male)

​The sometimes optimistic, sometimes self-deprecatory main character. The show is a day in the life of Charlie Brown. A loveable loser, his main characteristics are either self-defeating stubbornness or admirable determined persistence to try his best against all odds. He can never win a ballgame, but continues playing baseball; he can never fly a kite successfully, but continues trying to do so. Dominated by insecurities, this lovable blockhead is affable, humble but smart and vulnerable.

Strong singing and acting skills. 

Baritone/Tenor who can speak/sing fast and memorize well - B-flat2 to F4

Sally Brown - Age 6 (Female)

A highly articulate, charismatic, lovable, sometimes eccentric and argumentative younger sister to Charlie Brown. Despite being portrayed as innocent and adorable, she is noticeably intelligent for her age. She is absurdly intense, balancing angst with innocence, sweet but a skeptic. She has a crush on Linus.

Strong singing and acting skills. 

Soprano/Mezzo belt - B3 to A-flat5

Linus Van Pelt - Age 6 (Male)

The thumb-sucking, blanket-dependent younger brother to Lucy - and Charlie Brown's best friend. Though young, he is the most educated character in the bunch. He is unusually smart and he acts as the show’s philosopher. Despite his mature vocabulary, juvenile aspects of his character are also displayed; for example, Linus is almost always depicted holding his blue security blanket and often sucking his thumb. Acutely sensitive with brains and warmth, although he is the second youngest in the group he is the most mature.

Strong singing, acting, and soft shoe or tap experience would be great. must have the ability to dance or move well; 

  Baritone/Tenor - B-flat2 to E4

Lucy Van Pelt - Age 8 (Female)

The crabby, opinionated, manipulative, self-important older sister to Linus who bosses Charlie Brown around and perpetually offers arm-chair psychiatric advice for her rate of five cents. This actress will have dimension in her performance - she will have the ability to be a brute but also allow her compassion to shine when necessary. She is actually a friend to Charlie Brown and is constantly looking for ways to help him and Linus, though she is often misguided and pushy in her attempts to help. She has a strong, unrequited crush on Schroeder.

A strong-willed comedian with a great sense of timing.

Strong actress and belter. 

 Mezzo/Alto belt - G3 to Fsharp5

Snoopy (Male)

Charlie Brown’s dog. A clownish, vaudevillian scene stealer who can really “sell it.” Snoopy is more human-like than dog. His character is that of a dog who pretends to be a person (or who sometimes forgets he is a dog). He can dance circles around everyone else. He is smart, wise-cracking, and joyous. This role is physically demanding both in innovation and execution.

Actor who can portray a dog, physicality a must.

Strong comedic timing and musical theatre style dance required. Possible female role, but must fit vocal range.

 Tenor/Baritone - C3-A4

Schroeder - Age 8 (Male)

A friend to Charlie Brown, he is distinguished by his precocious skill at playing the toy piano, as well as by his love of classical music and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. He is Lucy’s love interest but he could care less about her. His love is Beethoven and he is very serious about his musical hobby. That said, he comes out and shines in his one number, “Beethoven Day,” which can be a show stopper.

Strong acting and singing skills.

Ability to play piano a plus, not mandatory;

 High Baritone/Tenor, B-flat2 to A-flat4
