But first, the cast of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown takes to the stage beginning June 11 at the Iowa Children's Museum. City Circle says this is a fresh approach to the 1967 classic. Sally Brown joins Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder and Snoopy in this version. Two new songs, Beethoven Day and My New Philosophy, have been added to the twelve wonderful numbers of the original version, such as My Blanket and Me, The Kite, The Baseball Game, Little Known Facts, Suppertime and Happiness.

"This show really lends itself to the ambiance of the Children's Museum," said director Angela Howard. "It is so whimsical and bright." For more information (including a behind the scenes video) or tickets, go here.
