Sacramento's musical revue company Best of Broadway is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a show titled Celebration. The production, closing out the Fair Oaks Theatre Festival season, opened earlier this month and will close with a trio of performances this weekend. It's produced and directed by Best of Broadway founder David L. MacDonald, with music direction by Erik Daniells (who spent the summer providing outstanding musical direction for the Sacramento Music Circus), and choreography by Sam Williams, Tonya Kageta and Kat Bahry. The last three Celebration shows feature special guest Dina Morishita—who played Kim in the national touring production of Miss Saigon, Eponine in the touring version of Les Misérables and Princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular. Rounding out the cast are 150 local performers.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, at 7:30 p.m.; $15-$20. Fair Oaks Theatre Festival at the Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre, 7991 California Avenue in Fair Oaks; (916) 296-6311; www.bestofbroadway.org.
