"Incontrovertibly an ensemble show...Schulz’s cartoon characters remain as endearing today as when they were first drawn." - Christopher Wiley, Musical Theatre Review
"Retains the fast, sharp comic appeal and instantly recognizable characterizations of the line-drawing originals, but also irresistibly brings it to human form by buoying up its snapshot scenes with the tuneful ease of the light, bright melodies of composer Larry Grossman's settings to Hal Hackaday's apt, witty lyrics." - Mark Shenton, What's On Stage
