If I could, I would give this adaptation of Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” 10 stars. This program is amazing to put it modestly. Colonial Radio has managed to take a timeless story and make it pure magic. Great acting (Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones are superb), wonderful sound effects, and a very lush music score make this one of the best pieces of audio theatre that I have ever heard. More impressive, is how they managed to keep the sheer poetry of Washington Irving’s words intact, while making this story enjoyable to a modern audience. One listen to the sound clip will get you hooked. This is a perfect evening’s entertainment any evening as you approach the “witching hour”. I tip my hat to Jerry Robbins, and Jeffrey Gage for creating something truly wonderful...

This has been one of my favorite stories since I was a wee lad. This is an excellent dramatization of Irving's classic. Jerry Robbins and the talented troupe the comprise the Colonial Radio Theater On The Air bring this to story to life with a verve and panache that smacks of the love for the written word. Their adaptions of classic and historical stories are always first rate. They are a prime example of why audio drama is an essential part of learning and imagination. Thanks to them and other producers across this country audio drama and especially radio shows are alive and kicking quite well. If you're as tired of t.v. as I am you won't miss it at all by listening to this top notch dramatization as well as other wonderful productions from this incredible organization of actors. Long live CRT!
