Sleepy Hollow is a family-friendly theatrical adaptation of Washington Irving’s famous short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” blending haunting themes with comedy and an upbeat musical score. The show reimagines the eerie tale of Ichabod Crane, a schoolteacher in the haunted town of Sleepy Hollow who finds himself entangled in both local folklore and romantic rivalry, with a heavy dose of humor. East Valley Children’s Theatre’s production features good leads, sharp direction, and vibrant creative elements, including some impressive make-up designs that evoke Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
