Charlie Brown: Male Presenting | 20s–30s | Vocal Range: Bb2–F#4 (G4) The lovable underdog of the Peanuts gang. Thoughtful, hopeful, awkward, and endlessly determined despite constant setbacks.
Lucy: Female Presenting | 20s–30s | Vocal Range: A3–F#5 Bold, bossy, outspoken, and hilariously confident. Lucy runs a five-cent psychiatric booth and isn’t afraid to tell everyone exactly what she thinks.
Linus: Male Presenting | 20s–30s | Vocal Range: (B2) D3–F#4 (G4) Wise beyond his years, thoughtful, sweet, and philosophical — though rarely seen without his beloved blanket.
Schroeder: Male Presenting | 20s–30s | Vocal Range: (G2) D3–F#4 (G4) A serious young musician devoted to Beethoven and his piano. Calm and focused…especially when trying to ignore Lucy’s affection.
Patty: Female Presenting | 20s–30s | Vocal Range: D4–F#5 Energetic, spirited, and full of personality. Patty brings warmth, humor, and enthusiasm to the Peanuts gang.
Snoopy: Male or Female | Any Age | Vocal Range: (G2) D3–F#4 (G4) Charlie Brown’s imaginative beagle who lives in a fantasy world all his own. Playful, physical, charismatic, sarcastic, and often the scene-stealer.
