Calling all Snoopy fans
Snoopy: The Musical will bring the much-loved comic, Peanuts, to the stage in August.
DURBAN’S KickstArt Productions is gearing up for their third production of the year, the utterly delightful mini-musical-comedy, Snoopy: The Musical, based on the much-loved, ever-popular Peanuts comic strips, which will be at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from 7 until 23 August.
With direction by Steven Stead and Charon Williams-Ros, musical direction by Justin Southey, and design by Greg King, Snoopy features all the familiar cartoon characters. Carol Trench makes a welcome return to Durban to play the headstrong and outspoken Lucy; Bryan Hiles is the cartoon’s protagonist, the melancholic, thoughtful and misunderstood Charlie Brown; Steven Stead plays the title role of Charlie Brown’s eccentric pet dog, Snoopy; Caitlin Kilburn is the upbeat tomboy Peppermint Patty; Graeme Wicks is Lucy’s brother, the insecure Linus; Katy Moore performs as the effervescent, ditzy Sally Brown and Evashnee Pillay is Snoopy’s silent sidekick, assistant and bosom buddy, the small scrappy yellow bird, Woodstock.
Audiences don’t have to dig too deep to realize that Snoopy is a story of the human condition – about a group of friends experiencing emotions, predicaments and situations familiar to us all. They are trying to make sense of the concept of ‘time’, all the while resenting the present and longing for a time that was good. Amid their glow of youth, they are trying to forge relationships and leave their mark on the world in the best way they know how, with amusing or moving results.
Not recommended for children under six years old.
