Dress up in our most glamorous attire, pour a spot of tea and head to the theater for the most elegant musical ever – Fancy Nancy! 

The Arkansas Arts Center Children’s Theatre season continues with "Fancy Nancy The Musical" from March 10 through April 2 with a special Pay What You Can Night preview performance on Thursday, March 9.

Nancy and her pals Wanda, Rhonda, Bree and Lionel are thrilled to be dancing in their very first show, 'Deep Sea Dances.' Nancy is positive – (that’s fancy for 100 percent sure) – that she will be cast as the Mermaid. When another girl gets the role, Nancy is stuck playing a dull, dreary tree. But Nancy learns that anyone and anything can be fancy. All it takes is a dash of imagination.

Canvas, the restaurant at the AAC, will host a special dinner from 5–7 p.m. on March 10 featuring a “fancy” menu. 

Showtimes are Fridays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. from March 10 – April 2. There are also spring break matinees from March 21–24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 for feneral admission and $10 for Arkansas Arts Center members.

Tickets for the preview show on March 9 must be purchased in person at the Arkansas Arts Center from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. at the Stephens Inc. Visitors Center, or from 6 – 6:45 p.m. at the Children's Theatre Box Office, Lower Lobby Level. There is a maximum ticket purchase of six "pay what you can" tickets per person. Additional tickets are regular price.
