On the Cripe Stage…
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.
“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
“The show is quite simply, splendiferous…The music is excellent, the lyrics are clever”Babies Gotta Have It
