CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
CHARLIE BROWN: The optimistic, self-deprecatory main character in Peanuts. A lovable loser, he can never win a ballgame, but continues playing baseball; he can never fly a kite successfully, but continues trying to do so, and hopes that next time, he will prevail. He is affable and humble, smart and vulnerable. Range: Bb2-F#4 (opt. G4)
LINUS VAN PELT: Lucy’s younger brother and Charlie Brown's best friend. The smartest character in the bunch, he is also the show’s philosopher. Linus is almost always depicted holding his blue security blanket and often sucking his thumb. Range: (opt. B2) D3-F#4 (opt. G4)
LUCY VAN PELT: The crabby, opinionated, manipulative, self-important older sister to Linus. She bosses Charlie Brown around and perpetually offers arm-chair psychiatric advice. She has a strong, unrequited crush on Schroeder. Range: A3-F#5
SNOOPY: Charlie Brown’s dog, can be played by man or woman. Snoopy’s character is that of a dog who acts like a person. He is smart, wise-cracking, and joyous. The most physically demanding role in the show, requiring dancing skills. Range: (opt. G2) D3-F#4 (opt. G4)
SCHROEDER: A friend to Charlie Brown, skilled at playing Beethoven on his toy piano. Lucy is in love with him but he could care less about her. Must be versed in patter singing for “The Book Report” number. Range: (opt. G2) D3-F#4 (opt. G4)
PATTY: Schroeder’s next-door neighbor and Lucy’s best friend. This character is not to be confused with Peppermint Patty, who appeared in later versions of Peanuts. Range: D3-F#5
