“Kiss the Girl.” “Under the Sea.” With such songs, this can only be Disney’s The Little Mermaid. This charming tale of Ariel, who wants to experience life outside the sea, surfaces in Sacramento in a polished, retooled and even more delightful production than the Broadway version. Glenn Casale, who directed the Music Circus production in 2012, is at the helm of this Broadway Sacramento show. Flotsam and Jetsam and all the other see-worthy characters will be on hand, too. 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday and Saturday, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Sunday; $24-$92. Community Center Theater, 1301 L Street; (916) 557-1999; www.californiamusicaltheatre.com.
