    1. I brought my 26 son who is intellectually challenged and has autism. He loved it and was thrilled to take pictures with the cast after the show. I loved the sets and the fantastic commitment to the characters by the players. Sound and lights were spot on. I was very impressed. What a find!

    2. Loved the show! I have been a collector of Snoopy and Peanuts things since I was in grade school. I own all of the tv shows and watch them every time they are shown again. This show made this one ‘come to life.’ I even wore my Peanut Christmas T-shirt to the show.
