Grand Rapids Civic Theatre to Stage SLEEPY HOLLOW, A MUSICAL TALE This Halloween

This Halloween, travel back in time to experience the all new musical version of the Washington Irving original with a modern day twist. SLEEPY HOLLOW, A MUSICAL TALE is filled with lots of spooky and hilarious moments.

This updated spin begins in the present day on Halloween night as three modern-day children find themselves thrust into the mysterious village of Sleepy Hollow, in Colonial New England. The children encounter a slew of colorful characters, and even have a confrontation with the infamous Headless Horseman himself. As the children sing and dance their way through the world of the 18th century they find the origins for traditions that are celebrated today as they unveil the haunting allure of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

"Our cast has approached this show as a blend between a Tim Burton film and a Scooby-Doo episode" notes Associate Director Allyson Paris. "The music in this play is outstanding, filled with modern pop-themed songs. Families can expect to see some of the most talented young people in West Michigan singing and dancing. You will be singing and dancing too!"

SLEEPY HOLLOW, A MUSICAL TALE is great family fun with just a little scary Halloween edge. It is recommended for children ages 7 and older. Children who plan to attend the October 31 matinee (2:00 curtain) performance are encouraged to dress in their Halloween costumes. Special treats will be given to the first 200 children.
