Set amidst the deep forests and dark mists of the Catskill Mountains, the new musical, The Curious Tale of Rip Van Winkle, journeys to the colonial Dutch village of Knickerbocker, where legendary loafer Rip Van Winkle holds court, and the spirits of Henry Hudson and his lost crew thunder through the hills and valleys. Based on the classic short story by Washington Irving, The Curious Tale of Rip Van Winkle recounts the story of Rip and his trusty dog, Wolf, whose titanic efforts to avoid work -- and the terrible temper of wife Dame Van Winkle -- lead to a strange encounter with an unearthly mischief-maker. Sparkling with Dutch dances, rousing village choruses, Old Country wit and Revolutionary War fervor, The Curious Tale of Rip Van Winkle will leave you as spellbound as a flagon of Henry Hudson's mysterious ale!
