Snoopy!!! The Musical is a musical comedy by Larry Grossman and Hal Hackady that was based on the Charles M. Schulz comic strip Peanuts. This sequel to the musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown focuses more on the life of Snoopy. The original London production of the musical had twenty songs, while the American revival had fourteen, including a few solos for Snoopy ("Daisy Hill") and Charlie Brown ("Where Did That Little Dog Go") as well as a song sung by Linus as he waits for the Great Pumpkin to appear on Halloween. Peppermint Patty also has a song where she expresses her love for Charlie Brown ("Poor Sweet Baby"). The rest of the musical is full of randomly placed scenes that although do not actually have any apparent order (something like the comic strips) are always full of laughs and life lessons on friendship and believing in yourself.

A prime-time animated TV special based on the musical, also called Snoopy!!! The Musical, was aired on the CBS network in 1988.
