A Charlie Brown Christmas presented by Emerald City Theatre at Broadway Playhouse

Chicago Sun Times - Recommended

"...Most of the holiday tourists who drift into this space a few yards from the American Girl Store are likely to emerge pleased with the show that's goofy enough for the kids but self-aware enough to encourage knowing glances between longtime "Charlie Brown" watchers. The young adults of the cast are uniformly likable and precise. As the title blockhead, Jason Goff has an exasperated tone that makes his lines rueful but audible to the back row (and, it seems, a genuinely bald noggin)."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Eric Schaeffer's stage adaptation of the iconic 1965 animated Peanuts special for kids' company Emerald City Theatre amounts to little beyond transcribing the dialogue verbatim, with little regard for how it might play live onstage."

Chicagoland Musical Theatre - Highly Recommended

"...In Chicago this year, Emerald City Theatre and Broadway in Chicago team to produce a truly delightful live stage rendition of this yuletide icon. It may be the perfect introduction of live theatre to children and perhaps the only production where the squeals and comments from young audience members enhance the experience."
