'You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown'
Linus' Song - 'My Blanket And Me'
Children's Theatre Network (MET2)
Lyceum Theatre, San Diego, CAAdam is cast in his first role as 'Linus' in the San Diego Children's Theatre Network
(now MET2) production of 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown' at the Lyceum Theatre.
BORN IN A TRUNK'He'd just come out onstage, and it popped,' said Bretches-Urban,
who now lives in Long Beach. 'You'd see that sparkle in his eye.
That gift is a passion. It's something in (his) soul that just exudes
from every pore. You know that this child has discovered his chosen
path, even if he doesn't know it yet.'
Lambert was a self-professed 'hyperactive kid' whose now-divorced parents, Eber and Leila Lambert, enrolled him in theater to channel
his energy. His first role in 1991 was as Linus in 'You're a Good Man,
Charlie Brown' at San Diego's Lyceum Theatre.
Like his father, Lambert's coloring was fair -- a thick head of
strawberry blond hair, fair skin and freckles. He took to acting,
singing and dancing quickly and formed a tight circle of friends in
the theater community.
'Music and performing were the only things I ever knew Adam doing,
Bretches-Urban said. 'He was not a kid that did sports. That was just
not his thing. I do know that he worked, much like an athlete would
do, on his singing with voice lessons for his entire life.'

Scenes from a Life: Adam Lambert
By Ben Kaplan

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, written 1967; performed by Lambert, 1991
"When I started dressing up in a hat and suit jacket and listening to Thriller, my parents got me into theatre. We did You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and I played Linus. It was stressful. There were a handful of kids all in the same role and you had to compete because at the end of rehearsal, they ranked you: If you had the best performance, you got Friday night. Saturday night went to the second best. In a way, it was f–ked up, but it planted a seed. I wanted it badly - that fight stuck with me ever since."
Adam's friend Andreja Pejic did an AMA on Reddit today, interesting read.
