I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS Live On Stage that is currently running through December 22nd in downtown Nashville at TPAC. I thought might be a little too geared for the kids for me to really enjoy and would probably be completely surrounded by kids, too.
Well, I was wrong and I’m so happy that theatrical productions are back after the start of the pandemic. You will have to wear a mask and provide proof of vaccine or negative COVID-19 test to attend, but these are minor inconveniences done for the safety of all involved and the audience so we can still enjoy these types of live events.
I really enjoyed this musical based on the beloved Christmas classic cartoon that has aired on TV since 1965. Yes, there were a lot of kids as expected, but it was mostly adults in the theater. It’s meant for all to enjoy.
The whole show was well done. Maybe not eye catching and dazzling costumes, but a talented cast performing this family-friendly Christmas treasure. I really liked the unexpected intro/opening segment. The scene with Lucy fantasizing about being the Christmas Pagent Queen was fun and the Christmas pagent itself was a really nice treat. My favorite part of the show was watching all the antics of Snoopy. He’s always the best part of the cartoon and steals this live show, as well.
Don’t miss this endearing live stage production this holiday season that gets to the heart of what Christmas is really all about. There is only one day left to see it, so you better act fast by getting your tickets at: www.tpac.org!
