About

Ooh la la! Fancy for your family!

From the tip-top of her twinkly tiara down to her sparkly slippers, Nancy’s eager to steal the spotlight in her first dance recital. But when someone else gets picked to be the prima ballerina (that’s a fancy word for star of the show) Nancy is stuck playing a dreary, dull tree. Through practicing kindness, Nancy must become a musical hero by finding the fancy flair in her new role. Adapted from the bestselling book series, this show is full of funny, frilly ballet ballads.

    Fancy Nancy Shines!

    by Seussical on 8/26/15Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Our granddaughter was mesmerized from start to finish! The performance was first class: entertaining, polished and educational. Thanks to all for their hard work in providing a wonderful Sunday outing! Our granddaughter is still quoting fancy nancy vocabulary!!

    Excellent!

    by C88Reef on 8/25/15Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    The show was great. The seats were great. The sound was great. It was the perfect length. Only thing I can complain about is...THE THEATER WAS FREEZING!! Most of the little girls were in pretty sleeveless dresses. It's summertime! No reason for the theatre to be 60 degrees though. Very unpleasant.

    Fancy Nancy was great for my granddaughter (5 yrs)

    by Anonymous on 8/25/15Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Very good musicals for the children age 3 to 7 or so. ACtually I had a ten year old with me and she loved it b/c she loves to act and see all the musicals and plays she can. We had great seats. I would say their is not a bad seat in the theatre at WAter Tower Place.

    Fancy Nancy was a perfect musical for Little girls

    by KooshiaP on 8/18/15Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    An hour was the perfect amount for a three year old to sit still! Loved that the cast met with the audience after!

    Fancy Nancy is lots of fun!

    by Anonymous on 8/17/15Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Fancy Nancy is the perfect show for little girls even casually familiar with the book series. The songs are catchy, the dancing is simple and cute, and there is enough humor to entertain adults, too. The take-home message at the end is perfect, and should put to rest any concern that Fancy Nancy, as a literary role model, promotes consumerism and materialism in the quest to be "fancy".

    This was a perfect show to take my 6 year old and mother to. The story was adorable, the theatre was perfect, not a bad seat in the place. We had an amazing time!
