First..It's wonderful to see anything that recognizes the religious connotation of Christmas. That's to be applauded. But, the show is almost painful to watch and there is not enough plot to warrant the ninety minute running time. There is too much music, and the character of Lucy is almost painful to listen to. I really wanted to like this play, but the kids and I were all bored.

GREAT MUSIC, POOR COSTUMES, STRANGE SCENES
My husband brought my son and me as a late birthday present. We saw this at the Lyric in Baltimore. We really enjoyed the acting of Snoopy (I've read other reviews that did not) but the costume was poorly done and he was barely recognizable. Charlie Brown should have had a hair piece to make him bald. Linus seemed to have studied the character from the cartoon and was the most true to the original. Most characters were not recognizable and there was a lot of strange dance numbers and high pitched giggling. I really wanted to love this play, but it fell short for the acting, the sound production (which seemed to have issues with some of the character mics) and definitely the costumes. I agree with several commenters that this was not as professional as High School plays in our area.

WORST MUSICAL/PLAY WE HAVE EVER SEEN!
I really can’t believe that the Fox Theater would allow
such a terrible musical in their house. I have come to
expect great shows when going to the Fox, this was so
disappointing. The sets and costumes were very
cheaply made (I can’t believe that snoopy wasn’t in a
full headed costume) The first half was literally such
a snooze, that many of the adults fell asleep.

DISAPPOINTED
We have experienced better productions from high school performing arts programs. The casting of several characters seemed odd, and the costuming was poor. When I pointed out Charlie Brown to our 4 year old grandson, he said, “No, it’s not. Charlie Brown doesn’t have all that hair.” The trio of musicians were the highlight of the show for me but couldn’t save the show. The children around us seemed bored and restless. Very disappointed. Not worth the price of the tickets.

SADLY THIS MISSED THE MARK
For the price of the tickets, this was disappointing. The terrible costumes, lego-like hair pieces, over-dramatizing by the actors. I thought this would have live music but instead used recordings. The lack of scenery and props (other than Snoopy’s house which was quite good) was disappointing. They took a 25-minute long show and made it into an hour and fifteen minutes while keeping the dialogue word-for-word. The gap was filled in with bizarre and out of place dancing and running around in the stage chaotically. Snoopy was so underdressed, my child asked where he was (a simple woman in white pants, a white shirt, and a white ski cap with black ears sewn on). I think this would have been good for a grade-school play, great even. But for the Merriam theatre in Philadelphia, paying over $60 per ticket was a waste. I would have preferred to watch the DVD with hot apple cider from my home.

NOT PROFESSION AT ALL
Worst play I have ever been to. Poor lighting (once Linus had to stop and say "lights please), poor soundboard operation ( mics weren't turned on until charter had already started talking) , chirography seemed very strange, acting was average at best.

SHOW NEVER RESTARTED AFTER INTERMISSION
The show & theatre had started very late plus went to intermission and never returned! It was esp bad because you could see there were issues & the theatre didn’t update the audience. We were left there for almost an hour with young kids. Couldn’t get water or snacks without 30+ min waits. Once intermission started the show never restarted. It was outrageous. People started leaving bc when asked for info the show provided nothing. Total disappointment & super $$$$$. Disappointed kids
