Charlie Brown - admirable for his dogged ability to keep trying in the face of never succeeding in anything he does. Very resilient. He is a kind and generous person. The show revolves around a day in his life. Baritone (Bb2 - F4).
Lucy - blunt with advice and wanting confirmation of her worth from others, she can be (willfully?) oblivious to others' feelings - especially Charlie Brown. She is infatuated with Schroeder and is the sister of Linus. Alto/mezzo (G3 - F#5). Linus - a gentle philosopher with a large vocabulary, who can become quite vocal in defense of his security blanket. Baritone (Bb2 - E4). Sally - younger than the others (Charlie Brown's sister), but just as intelligent…sometimes precocious. Soprano (B3 - Ab5). Schroeder - a piano prodigy who loves Beethoven. Finds Lucy annoying. Tenor (Bb2 - Ab4). Snoopy - classically anthropomorphized, Snoopy is a reflection of creativity and wisdom and humanity. Will never be an "ordinary dog". Tenor (C3 - A4). Possible female role, but must fit vocal range. |
