This Halloween season, dare to enter the eerie world of Sleepy Hollow.

Back by popular demand, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is Ballet Fantastique’s wickedly funny dance-theater twist on one of the world’s most iconic ghost stories.

This immersive dance theater spin on Washington Irving’s 1820 classic follows would-be hero Ichabod Crane as he faces off against his fears—and the infamous Headless Horseman—in pursuit of fame, fortune, and romance. Venture to eerie Sleepy Hollow—a secret town hidden in the shadowy fall woods, where rumors of ghosts and goblins roam.

Set to a live, genre-bending score for electric fiddle and guitar played by Dréos with Gerry Rempel Ensemble, Sleepy Hollow fuses early American folklore with BFan’s signature wit, whimsy, and Emmy®-nominated theatrical storytelling.

Filled with thrills, laughs, and superstitious mischief, your favorite Halloween experience is back. 

Live music

Dréos & Gerry Rempel Ensemble play decadent, playful new rock and world music- infused versions of classics, plus new work created just for BFan.
