Ayo Edebiri is returning to the stage next winter in the Off-Broadway presentation of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, with David Hyde Pierce taking on the titular role.
Edebiri will play Snoopy, alongside Danielle Brooks as Lucy and Jin Ha, who recently appeared in Proof on Broadway alongside Edebiri, as Linus. Sam Pinkleton, a Tony Award winner for Oh, Mary!, directs the musical, which is slated to run Feb. 3 through Feb. 14 at New York City Center.
This kicks off the Encores! 2027 season, which has a mission of reviving overlooked musicals, and typically features semi-staged productions that feature some choreography but are not full-fledged productions.
Pierce, known for his role on Frasier, is a veteran of the stage, having appeared in Pirates! The Penzance Musical; Hello, Dolly!; and Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, as well as Curtains, for which he won a Tony Award for best leading actor in a musical.
Edebiri comes back to the stage after making her Broadway debut in Proof this spring, and starring in The Bear, which just released its final season.
