see that the original jersey boy and that's may twentieth at eight o'clock and of course what happened originally is frankie had a small health issue that his doctor didn't want him to travel for a few weekends so the show got moved from february when it where it was sold out to may and of course a lot of people couldn't come because you know they went back up north but we have a few hundred tickets left by it's evidence that a lot of our local people can't get into some of the shows are jumping on this because the first so they're still tickets but come out and see jersey are jersey but i'm a jersey girl so i really like to push that and then and a singer and actress that i've been pursuing for years getting here at the end ways will i did one of the biggest stars in the realm of

as we go on but i'm really looking forward to it so let's start with our big show for the year motown is a graphical all that beautiful music of the motown generations every pop that makes me feel like it was last night with the tenth top that's fabulous now here's a new show that we're all psyched about iris about i'm going to be blown away by that circus nine hundred three it's takes you back to that generation of circuses with life parker was isn't that exciting i can't wait for the show i've been waiting for soon as you sent me the first video there it is right here so i just can't wait to see this one i know and you were mad i didn't bookmark well my guess is we're going to ring the dang thing back next year for more performer there you go and it better coming from the producers of the it's ok to be scared strength is not optional this is my mother my purpose real muscle is lifting her spirits between bedpans and bad news from doctors the doubt her strength strength is buried in bills managing meds and swallowing those moments  five well welcome back to at the van ways well as i promised you i have our presenting sponsor of our friday series get a lot of motive represented here by the general manager of this on nick wood dell and a lovely gentleman general manager of acura derren hutchinson welcome guys thank you like you have to have you here thank you so you your company has been around for like twenty seven years that's a lot of longevity we have been real in beautiful sarasota beach arena here and cadillac europe you know we have a great customer base and a lot of loyalty with the brand so pretty excited you might employ a lot of people at my store i mean overall overall no yes we do i think i was actually talking to looking forward to this you know that's always a great you know that's one of the things you mentioned that the long view of the organization you know mr gentles commitment is obviously been to all the communities that he represents so that's one of the vets grad wants to be involved one little aside is we had i don't remember the show it might have been chris botti or it might something else but one of your salesman was a drummer and he came up and played the drums like i've never seen you know just a guy out of the audience too before he was spectacular you should have met all your local parties but anyway what other brands other than nyssa on an acura to you folks represent well we have is that you know we have some we have some as well absolutely my aunt and uncle used to live there and it was it's a wonderful place but one of the things that we love so much about get all this not just the cars and the cars of course are the main focus but you folks are so involved in the community besides doing friday fest here we know you were also involved in giving hunger the blues which was here and backpacks which i think is such a great program and toys for tots how do you inspire your workers and everyone massive trucks and he pulls in and hit him alone every year he's given a sign post twenty four bikes on his own that just comes and you drop them off doesn't say nothing but we start going to the page as well but i'm sad to say we don't have the same success you do it ends up with the employees all going out and buying toys because we don't get as many and we really think it's such a special project yeah we were talking before we went on the air about how some of the the audience are you been called to me it's audience but how  s appetites of change for cars what do you see this really driving right now the the industry what are people buying and just i think that people are moving into the small s u v s segment why is that  then you have room so let's say you take a small family that has a stroller and you have this and you have a bunch of stuff to put the back by the time you put stroller in groceries and a couple car seats in the back of a so then you don't have any room if you have the smallest t v and you've got a hatchback and most of them have those automatic push buttons which goes up and down for you automatically but i think the belts the i believe you're right shift and i have a i have a hard top convertible and when i'm taking two friends to key west and that's a drive i don't know how we're going to get the suitcases and because both of them are women so you can just imagine how much we're packing if i was taking two guys that would break easier you know if they can pack in a backpack speak of the devil now how can people find out about your stores you well on behalf of the then ways will and the whole community i really want to thank you because you you have a beautiful product both of you and also what you do for the community is just outstanding and we will be back in a minute with but there's a slight green problem now maybe we can get it in here you go there you go but we're going to talk a little bit about our some of the highlights from our dance series we're doing tango fire and i have seen this show but this and tango fire will be here for one performance only on january twelfth right and we're selling right now subscriptions to dan right and subscriptions to broadway single tickets won't go on sale right of all right labor day now here is a show that i have been intrigued about the first several years it's called ballet boys it's from the united kingdom and it's one of the most in a vase is innovative forces in modern dance around and it's an all male company and i don't want you to confuse this with the group right so let's look at some after the curtain looks spectacular it really does it's february seventh of course travis wall is so involved with so you think you can dance and it's heart wrenching it's brilliant and we're just going to look at it  opera singer today she's just brilliant she was with us a couple of years ago and she's here january sixteenth and there are going to be many more seats available to the public because last time we did it as a collaboration with the orchestra how you probably like i had the chance to spend some time with her wasn't she lovely and warm she's one of the most down to earth people i don't know a lot of opera people singers but she was so down to earth and she was explaining what was going on to a novice and i was yeah and she loves kids an education and she made a big splash in the new york times recently because she's stepping back from performing performing opera at the met for her solo career and i guess there comes a point in every opera singers life you know if you hit the barrier of us to have a second chance to have the most brilliant kind wonderful lady renee fleming here again january sixteenth now tell everybody about the man i've been stalking you spectacular you're all going to enjoy him as i always have it's just one performance on april nineteenth so don't wait too long to get seats going to sell out as he always does oh my gosh i'm so excited about it and then you know we have this famous art you know stop by the box office they love to see visitors and we'd like to have you know went once or subscriber you get your seats right and then you get to keep them but we're always getting you know new scribe years and one of the special perks this year is if you subscribe we have a lot of vendors here so there's everything from ice cream or pizza charcoal pizza so yes i'm happy and then you get to see the gorgeous sunset go down and just enjoy the memories on that day chuck and i were going off to new york to be at the broadway league festival right and get you some new shows for the next year but we will be back in a month at the van ways
