The musical is based on Charles Schultz' comic strip "Peanuts," with songs for Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Schroeder and the other precocious kid characters of the strip.
No release date for the recording has been announced.
4 Below charges a $35 cover plus a $25 food and drink minimum. There will be a special kids' menu offered at these performances. To purchase tickets, visit 54Below.com.
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
