i was really disapointed in the san francisco recording of this show. the voices are childish to the point of shrill and painful at times and my suggestion would be to invest in the london cast recording. 28 year olds won't ever sound like 10 year olds and they shouldn't try as hard as this cast did. also, the london cast recording has some extra songs that add a lot. despite this recording, the show is wonderfully fun and ranks right up there with You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

I have to be boring and agree with nearly everyone else. These are not the best versions of the songs. I recently saw the Snoopy Musical in the New Players Theatre, Charing Cross, London and it blew me away. Yes, it's light humour and couldn't possibly be described as deep, but it is still thoroughly enjoyable. I would give the show 5/5 stars and the London singing 6/5 stars. This recording is amusing and has most of the best songs, but the singing isn't quite up to scratch (and isn't even "singing" in parts). Good, but sadly not great.

Not only does this recording have brilliant and undiscovered melodies and lyrics, but it includes the amazing vocal talent of Pamela Myers who brings so much to her interpretations. A must for any lover of musical theatre.

Please see my review for the London recording. Basically, the singing on this CD is of far inferior quality, and many songs are missing from this soundtrack. I do recommend purchasing the Snoopy!!! Musical CD with all my heart.. just not this version.

All my revues are strictly from a listeners point of view, and this CD is not good from a listeners point of view. I haven't seen the show, and I feel other revues of this CD are based on having seen the show, which isn't fair. This CD isn't complete for one thing. The London cast, although I don't own it, nor have I ever listened to it, at least has the full score. But the main horror are the singers on this CD. They are just bad. People are turned off musical theater from CDs like this. I urge you not to buy this CD unless you are a collector, or have seen this show and want to hear a bad version. This is not for new listeners or even mature listeners looking for new musicals... this is not good. I don't know why people keep giving this CD more than three stars. The lyrics are decent, cute and funny, but the singing is unforgivable. Favorite song (only because I put one in every review): "Poor Sweet Baby"

I just performed as Charlie Brown in Snoopy!!! and love the CD. The whole CD is very upbeat and is great to listen to. I would recommend it to any Peanuts fan who has seen the show.

I can't believe that they finally made a CD of the musical, SNOOPY!!! I've seen the animated version of this musical and I want to hear what the musical production of the songs were like.

i first herd this cd on a car trip with my friend, and have loved it ever since.

I'm 14 and recently performed as Lucy in a junior high and high school production that combined Snoopy and YAGM! It's really cool to listen a broadway recording of the songs that I just sang. Edgar Allen Poe and Just One Person are the best!

What do you see? I see a great CD, wavin' at me, what do you see? The songs are so catchy, the very commonly get stuck in your head. Many have not left me for weeks.
