A sophisticated evening for the fancy side in all of us

Fancy Nancy and her friends Bree, Rhonda, Wanda, and Lionel are going to be performing 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?

based on the book “Fancy Nancy”
by Jane O’Connor and Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser

SEASON PRODUCERS Bette & Wylie Aitken

    Had never heard of the Chance Theater before and am so happy to have discovered it, especially for kids. This was a Wonderful production. Cast was great and loved that all of the kids were invited up onto the stage after the production. Only wish – assigned seating.

    I think the message was beautifully portrayed and I know my grand daughter Cambria “got it.”

    Loved the production. Staging and actors were delightful. My granddaughter was super impressed. Being able to meet the characters and get autographs was special for her.

    It was our 1st time at the Chance Theatre and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone was very friendly. We enjoyed the musical and will definitely come back.

    Took my daughter to see Fancy Nancy, The Musical this weekend. The show was very well performed and the acting and singing were tremendously enjoyable! The length of the show was just about the extent of what children can tolerate!

    I was so happy with his friendly the staff was – very helpful since we’d never been here. Everything was set up so perfectly for little girls to enjoy. The play itself was a delight, and the added bonus was meeting the cast afterward. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    Outstanding! Loved the care taken with the kids, and the reunion on stage at the end.

    Loved this performance, my daughter has been talking about ever since. I appreciated the interaction with the audience, it made it extra special. The set design was fantastic as well and transitioned seamlessly between scenes. Personally, the shark rap that Lionel did was my favorite part.
