The Wizard of Oz has achieved classic status, from the 1939 MGM film to everything it has inspired. On Saturday Olympia will get two chances to catch the National Tour of The Wizard of Oz at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts. "Breathtaking special effects" are promised, as are "the classic Wizard of Oz songs and the beloved characters Dorothy, Toto, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow ..." That pretty much covers the bases.

[Washington Center for the Performing Arts, 2 and 7:30 p.m., $30.25-$75.50, 512 Washington St SE, Olympia, 360.753.8586]
