show we'll have neil holloway who plays nala with us and that's great that we have the opportunity to talk to an actor that and i think she can give us some special insight but we have some terrific shows still coming up  they all lived for the day that life could get here and then suddenly it's gone you know and we're like oh we still have shows that go on is it just so much to go on but we're going to look at this terrific season and then we're going to talk about  our new year's season for our fiftieth gold none of us right it's a big one but let's start out with talk about belly trocadero on this show that's right now have you ever performed in this show steve i don't think i and the show's on april fourth you don't want to miss it it's great fun for everybody right and then we switch gears we go back to broadway rent rent the twentieth anniversary tour i know ok you know it's been that long i remember seeing it on broadway because was the first of the really big you know sort of new kind of musicals that related to people then of our age it's right well you know music not anymore but whatever but i was surprised i mean you know he was a genius he larsen and i will tell people you need to come see this show it's here on april ninth and tenth and i saw the television version and you know that was kind of a little bit of a letdown simply because the actor was hurt right he had to do the videotape right we really need to see this show and prove that and we've got a little bit of it right now of course i was in my high school years and you know that was the days in san francisco when people were doing drugs and of course i never would like to tell it we have a psychedelic that will never die you know obviously i was sixteen years old new jerseyan but i was pretending is those songs and that's on april fifteenth and then we go to a totally different kind of show we have second city coming in from chicago direct from chicago yeah now do you remember some of the original members were not of original but second city has had so many comedians th and i really think people should come and it's tuesday april sixteenth and this one's called it's not you it's me hopefully they'll tell me what that is supposed to be laughing at love and relationships whatever that means well you know i guess i don't have enough  but anyway then we go to a musical called men a pause right which i've seen many times and all you have to do is say the title you know and it's april the seventeenth and it you know how this taking me to that i know her side of the story you know and then when my favorite artist spaz skaggs is coming back to the van ways all and i mean i just think about the songs he sang and you know what he was the songs from urban stunning edge and of course he played you like gold in the good wife that he had a television show this summer and this is stories and songs and what a fantastic theater evening and he's from scotland  that and i'm really looking forward so we're bringing him back by popular demand and that's on april the twentieth that's great and look tell us about the next show rosanne cash and then apparently she's doing this new album called she remembers everything and it's a to her roots again which is kind of all over the place country folk and rock and she has there once before a long time ago totally sold out so everybody get out get your tickets and what's the date on that one is april twenty fifth ok and then the next show you really need to come this is the temptations of the four tops and we've had them here three or four times in the eleven years i've been here they are wonderful i think we still have come see the temps of the tops it is an evening of hit after hit i mean i have them all written down i mean into proud to beg my girl papa was a rolling stone sugar pie honeybunch can't help myself same ol song i'll be there reach out right there smooth stepping nobody steps like them oh no and it's all the twenty six and i can see them every night i they were playing over at the broward county and my girlfriend jill had them over there and i remember we were in new york at a conference and she's like oh my god they're totally sold out tickets for the show and so that's how great the show when it's a great time and then one of my favorite performers and she is an eeg up that's is fantastic i mean what are all of you who have seen you know her in will the movie she was so wrought in the color purple movie and then she won the oscar for ghost and then all those sister act movies right and of and that's on april twenty seventh and let me tell you there are very few you got and i don't know what god got and john legend is another one correct in here but what he is a performer that is really fabulous and then  july you have to hear that every song that song on my source crystal you know don't it make my brown eyes blue and right you've been talking in your sleep which apparently my sister said i was doing just the other getting ready for you getting ready for it and that's april twenty eighth and then our last show that we have booked and by i mean book you know i'll come up with something else is the illusion is correct coming straight from broadway this is five amazing magicians and they probably shoot me for using call at nine five three three three six eight or come to the box office or if you like me like to shop at home but our web site w w w dot been ways all dot org and again we really remind folks life the participation of residence in local government is very important to the well being of any community volunteer advisory boards and committees are a great opportunity for local governments to engage their citizens in the process of crafting policies and tackling issues the city of sarasota has over twenty five advisory boards and committees with numerous opportunities for our citizens to volunteer their time and expertise from parks and recreation public art to the historic preservation board many advisory boards require some experience in particular fields or professions and some only require residency in the city of sarasota for more show that's been around for you know the animation came out the year i was born so i got so it's it's very humbling to be a part of a show that's affected people's lives and in such an amazing way and a grand you know way from to play the role a special song for about what's happening right what's happening to you just see her grown up but you know when you come see the musical you get to see what is happening and how she grows up and why she rose up and she really fits in with our times today   so scars and i actually an actual king so she takes on the role of taking care of the pile and she does a very best until it's time to go you know for she is king and the song you sing is stunning i mean you could cry at the end oh i you know you know a lot of yeah and she can do anything and it's very fun to be able to play a character that can do anything i mean that it is you know it's very empowering and it's a very physical role but yeah this is the first time a lion king has come to sarasota i hope it's not the last movie you feel any special kind of energy coming off the audience gosh will the theater itself is so it's a theater that because it's so intimate and you get that moment where you don't get where you can kind of see people's face and you can see people crying you know and and i make sure i watch for moments like that you know just because that's the beautiful thing about theater itself you get to be in a room and experience something directly happening to you and this show itself just affects people in a motion away in a beautiful way why do you think it's so timeless and universal it's a timeless story because it's a diverse story and i think that no matter where you come from who you are man woman child how old you are nine to ninety the story about taking responsibility and becoming who you are supposed to be for the greater good of yourself and for other people as a story that any of us can relate to yet already then all of us want to be you know whether you're a woman or man we all want to be somebody you know we do you want to be you know you want to be great but you know i have done theater for a lot longer than you and i watch some tours and they come in and the actors are constantly you know they jump from one city to the next the nice thing about lion king being so popular and so big you get to sit down a lot  cities to tell me what is life like on the road i mean do you bring along because i know you came from up north yeah i have all sorts of close with you or how do you get that well is a process and i'm going now six years and i've learned the you know the formula and and you know you do it that way and life on the road is you know a lot of people always ask when you get tired of doing a show it's like i have no time to get tired of doing the show because you know everything else in my life is changing yeah absolutely you know the sleepy hungry but like when you look into that water it's like you well we are so grateful to have had this tour here and to have performers like you we surely enjoyed it and we're really i mean i'm having dinner with i actually worked with the guy that plays thirty years ago or so we're having dinner but it's so nice to have such wonderful professional people here thank you i think we could probably talk to all afternoon thing but i want to thank you again for the bottom i heart you made it special for me and for away and it's so relevant to to women today so i'm so thrilled we had her here but now we have an amazing season next year you know i

to new york you're going to see it oh i can't i it's it's all about her marriage to gerry and about all the songs and how they wrote a lot of songs for other people until finally in her own right but some of these songs are you know i feel the earth move natural woman one fine day that's right i mean the song that everybody loves you've got a friend you know i mean close to the music of the generation that's true and they're here december thirteenth the fifteen and let's look at some of you to  have and plastic let's just show a little piece they will be here in january this is a return
