Krouse) and Woodstock (Emma Wilson) join the fun of "a day in the life of Charlie Brown." Full of music, humor, and insight, the stage musical tackLes Childhood's memorable moments that made Schulz's Peanuts characters a part of all our lives.Will this be the day that Charlie Brown actually flies his kite? Can Linus give up his blanket? Will Schroeder give in to Lucy's romantic advances? All this while Snoopy ponders the meaning of life from the roof of his doghouse.
