The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts announced this week that “A Charlie Brown Christmas: Live On Stage” will merrily roll into town on Friday, December 5th. The show will kick off at 7 p.m.
Based on the famous Peanuts comic strip and cartoon franchise, the titular Charlie Brown, his dog Snoopy, their friends Lucy, Linus and many more will create a lively song-and-dance atmosphere in this highly anticipated traveling adaptation.
The Christmas show itself is a production of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning television special of the same name that first enchanted viewers in 1965.
All these years later, the same Vince Guaraldi musical score and the same Chuck Shultz-created cavalcade of characters are ready to help enlighten audiences once more about the magic and true meaning of Christmas.
Attendees are encouraged to sing along with the cast during a final medley of classic holiday songs. The show is approximately 90 minutes long, including a 20-minute intermission.
According to the theatre, the target audience is 4 to 12-year-olds, of course with parental accompaniment required for all children in attendance.
Tickets go on sale this week for just $50 to $80. You can purchase yours in person at 71 East Main Street, by phone at (631) 207-1313, or online by following the links provided on the theatre’s website.
