A Charlie Brown Christmas (Chicago)

Play was not worth the price of the ticket. It was cute, but not something I would go to again or recommend to friends unless they have children under the age of 6 to take with them. Snoopy's character was entertaining, but that's it.

Fantastic show for the family, who doesn't love Charlie Brown?! Emerald City puts on a great program that is geared for children yet still fun for all ages. A must see!

Snoopy was hilariously animated and the whole cast was fun to watch--both me and my 8 year old loved it!

They did a fantastic job. My kids absolutely love it and laughed hysterically. Before the doors opened there were coloring tables so the kids were not bored. During the show there were two people moving the snoopy puppet. I wasn't not sure how my kids would have liked that, but they blended into the background so well, they never even noticed them. They also had the actors come out to sign autographs. My daughter wanted to take hers to school and show her friends she met Charlie Brown. My son is still doing the dance moves taught in the show. If your able take your kids. My husband and I are Peanuts fans and we enjoyed it as much as the kids.

The play was a joy to watch. Kids loved the show. The end where we all sang songs and dances was phenomenal.

Do not waste your money. 45 min and the play was absolutely stupid and a waste of a trip downtown

Was very dissapointed in this play. Way too short - 40 minutes. My four year old granddaughter is very smart and mature and this did not keep her attention at all. We came to see Fancy Nancy here and that was fabulous but this was a waste of my money.

I was very unpleasantly surprised with this adaption of a Charlie Brown Christmas. Most disturbing was the "Snoopy" Character puppet. I don't understand why Snoopy could not have been life size, with the use of a costume. Overall I was disappointed with most of the acting in this play. I felt like I was at a high school play with just mediocre actors.

Wonderful play. The cast was amazing! The whole family enjoyed every minute

The play was so great! The show was engaging and entertaining. Fun for the whole family!

My 4 year old grandson loves Charile Brown and has seen the tv animated version several times. I was concerned that he might not like the live version...I was totally wrong. He smiled the entire time. He loved it, Not too long, 45 mins. and you can take your pic with the cast members and get their autographs. Highly recommend if you have children who are into Charlie Brown.

Just perfect for children! Amusing, sweet & a perfect length

My six year old grandson enjoyed the play. The photo op with the cast was really nice.

I am so disappointed. I felt that this was over priced, over hyped and a bad high school musical. I was really looking forward to taking my nephews to this and it was just so disappointing.

We enjoyed the play. The actors were fabulous. Very animated!

We took my parents who were in their 70's and my son who is 8. I can say it was wonderful. Both generations had a great time and there was such familiarity with the production for all. The cast was sooo spirited and that wrapped up the audience immediately . It's nice to go to a production even a small one that actually allows kids to be involved, laugh, dance and recite the words along with the actors. You can also tell this cast really enjoyed putting on the performance!!!

Awesome show - the authenticity of the characters was on point. Loved it

The best thing I can say about this show is that it was short. Really short. Like-45 minutes. Definitely not worth the expense of the ticket plus parking at Water Tower Place. They stuck EXACTLY to the script of the original cartoon, There were a couple of chuckles and the kids seemed to like it, but it was overall a waste of time and money.

Charlie Brown Christmas in Chicago was Really good. My 15 year old and 6 year old had a great time. It is great for all ages. Half the theater was kids!

I was disappointed in this production. The set was almost non-existent, the talent just mediocre, the costumes just blah. If I hadn't paid $200+ for my family of 5 to see the show, then it would have been a fine way to spend an hour. But it just wasn't worth the money. And afterwards, when the cast was signing autographs, Snoopy didn't even participate. Just a let down all around.

Very very disappointed. Show runs for 45 minutes!!!!! Synopsis is plain. Simple props and bad actors. It is just like a school play and not a professional play. Not recommended. My kid and I are sorely disappointed. Refund this money!!!!

I gave this play to my great niece as a surprise Christmas presents & she was thrilled. She has never been to the theatre & loved the play. And it has excited an interest in the theatre for her. I am partially thankful for the cast members interaction with the audience & taking the time to take pictures with the children.

For the money we spent for 4 tickets (about $170) we could not believe it was over in 45 minutes! Yes, 45 minutes! From 10 am to 10.45. Not worth the money!

Engaging and fun Great seats Very appropriate for young children

This was a wonderful family experience! It was completely engaging and the perfect length for our 3 year old!

I brought my son to see it for his 10th birthday. It was absolutely adorable and so well adapted to the movie. The theater was small and quaint and kid friendly. The allocated time for the play was perfect, especially for the families with young children. The cast did a Christmas sing a long with the audience at the end!! I would definitely recommend this play and I have already done so!!

This show is exactly like the TV special, which our family loves. Especially good for younger kids -- probably age 3-8 or so. It's only about an hour. The actors are entertaining and fun. Overall, a great experience although my kids were on the older side for this (8 and 10).

My 5 year old loved Charlie Brown! 45 minute show was perfect.

The play was very slow. I think for 5 and under it was difficult to understand the story. It was a 50 min show and honestly not worth the money. Sorry

I'm not sure what I was expecting. Maybe an actual snoopy, not a stuffed animal? I think the story was hard to follow for little ones who may not have seen the original movie. Overall, kind of boring. The actors were great with what they had to work with....they had wonderful voices.

We took our 3 boys, 5,7, 9 to see the show during christmas and had an incredible time. The show was so well done and adorable. So glad we took the time to see it!!

Very well done. We took the 4 grandkids, and they were "spellbound" the whole time.

The play was ridiculously short. From beginning to end was about 30 minutes. The actors didn't look professional, it felt that it was a students performance

Short but very well done. I could have done without the fundraising pitch at the end. I paid for our tickets contributing to the fund. Some of the cast did not resemble their animated counterparts making it difficult to figure out who was who. Snoopy and Woodstock puppets were the best.

Our family enjoyed this production while visiting Chicago. Both my girls (age 12 & 4), really enjoyed the show. The venue is quaint and I can't imagine there is a bad seat in the house. We really enjoyed the crowd engagement at the end of the production, singing Christmas songs with a full house was a special moment. We also thought it was rather special that they had the cast available for autographs after the show, our four year old really was quite impressed.

Very good presentation, short but probably long enough for young ones--about forty mins. Nice idea to add singing and dancing with the audience after the play. Actors and actresses very attentive with children after the show while signing autograph.

This play was a recreation of the TV special and was well done. It lasted an hour and kept the kids' attention. The actors were good and involved the audience.

We were disappointed because the play was less than 40 minutes long. To travel 45 miles on a train and then cab to get there and have the play last for only 40 minutes was upsetting. The play did not start exactly on time and my grandson look at his watch when it was over and he said its only 1:40. The play Iis gear for very young children only up to age 5-6. Singing the songs after the play was over was almost the best part of the event. I should not have brought a 10 year old child..

What a treat! We loved feeling the holiday spirit with this sweet cast!

This was a very short play with not much of a set.
