"... But it looks like a neat-o giant comics page, thanks to Robert Andrew Kovach’s design, which frames the stage in Schulz panels and trots out “Peanuts” icons — Snoopy’s dog house, Charlie Brown’s cavernous mailbox, etc. — one at a time. The show is big, bright, simple: a safe bet for an audience that increasingly salutes the Olney’s mainstream musicals."

"... The show tries hard to appeal to both children and adults, and to some degree it does—Linus’s philosophical musings will draw chuckles from the older members of the audience, while the show’s goofy characters and physical comedy should prove a hit among kids. But the broad acting and slim storyline of Charlie Brown will test the patience of those who aren’t devotees of Peanuts, and much of the show’s dialogue may go over the heads of the younger audience members. But anyone should be able to appreciate the enthusiastic and energetic ensemble of performers Olney has assembled."

"... Happiness is getting to see You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown at Olney Theatre Center. A rollicking good time of a musical directed and choreographed by Stephen Nachamie, this show will touch audiences young and old with the classic characters of Charles M. Schulz exactly as everyone remembers them. The show flits by like a series of comic strips – a living version of the Sunday morning cartoon section all featuring the iconic Peanuts for an evening of fun."
