About The Show

“The show demonstrates that ordinary children can be fancy too, and, even more important, that Fancy Nancy can be an ordinary child.”
-- New York Times

“fills the theatre with laughter, catchy songs and life-long lessons”
-- Broadway World


This TYA favorite returns to the Chance for the seventh time. Bring the family and watch as Fancy Nancy and her friends Bree, Rhonda, Wanda, and Lionel get ready to perform in their very first show, “Deep Sea Dances.” Nancy is positive, that’s fancy for 100 percent sure, that she and Bree will be picked to be mermaids. When another girl wins the coveted role of the mermaid, Nancy is stuck playing a dreary, dull tree. Can Nancy bring fancy flair to her role, even though it isn’t the one she wanted?Recommendation: Ages 4 and up. Great for the entire family.
Please Note: Babes in arms and children under four are not permitted, unless it’s at a designated Relaxed Performance.


What is a "Relaxed Performance," you ask?

Fantastic query! (That's fancy for "Great question!")Relaxed performances are specifically designed to welcome patrons who will benefit from a less restricted audience environment. All patrons are welcome, including but not limited to those with: intellectual or learning disabilities, sensory processing conditions, audience members on the autism spectrum, and children under 4 years old.There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement within the auditorium, and some minor production changes may be made to reduce the intensity of light, sound, and other potentially startling effects.Relaxed Performances for Fancy Nancy, The Musical:
