The Greater Boston Stage Company bills “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” as a ‘One-Man Show’ but the incredibly funny and talented Paul Melendy summons more characters than most shows put on stage for a large-scale production. I’m not just talking about Washington Irving’s Connecticut townsfolk – Ichabod Crane, Katrina Von Tassel, Brom Bones and others. But just imagine a cast that includes the likes of Jim Carrey, Mr. Bean, Don Knotts, Martin Short, Patrick McKenna and Sponge Bob SquarePants telling Washington Irving’s classic New England ghost story, and you’ll get a better picture of the night you have ahead of you when you visit the Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham.
