BWW Reviews: SNOOPY a Fun and Energetic Dog Treat
by Harmony Wheeler - Dec 3, 2013
You're a good man, Charlie Brown, but Snoopy is pretty good, too. In fact, he's the head beagle, and he's played with excellence, honor, smarts and lots of puppy charm by Keith Pinto, who so wonderfully portrayed the same character last year in another Peanuts-based musical at the Bay Area's Retro Dome.
