hello everyone i'm mary ben saul and welcome to at the van ways all i'm here with julie amaze who's in the last few days of her employment here at the at the sarasota band ways all but i hear you've already bought tickets for shows next year yes i'm so excited there are some shows i'm definitely coming back to good so she's still going to be a patron if she's not an employee but she's bringing money into the city we like that but we just had a fantastic show here move live if you missed it you you blew it because it was amazing it was with derek hough and julie and a half and of course three days after they left town they were the cover of people magazine i know they were great article two people were just wild and a lot of people got up on stage and danced and but they had such high energy and i was looking up to have my picture taken with the they were so they were pretty people let me tell you i'm pretty people you know and they were brother and sister and just gorgeous and nice i think that was very very well done a little bit of great father's to have a present but we're going to have all sorts of new show i'm very excited about this one that we're going to talk about you just bought a ticket for i believe it is and i want to blast from the past i remember the first time i have big block of ice for air conditioning you know we're just kidding but yeah that's exciting and peter frampton i think that's going to be incredible one of the things that's a bummer for me is every fall i go off to a conference where we booked the shows for the following year and last year was a national i had a blast in nashville this year it's in atlanta where i've been to many times and it's during peter frampton show and i'm not going to be here but don't let people think that just because i used to work here is the reason i'm getting tickets before arctic single tickets go on sale we're putting for the early shows we're putting them on sale to the public for single tickets so so you still can go get your tickets on sale isn't it is unfair that's right so we will let you buy a ticket until it was on sale to the general public because you've become the general public but peter frampton had so many hits and he has a new album out came out i think june twenty third it's current called hummingbird in a box and it's interesting i'm going to have to mention this to the sarasota ballet folks has he said it with the with the cincinnati ballet and he said working with the ballet company so this happens every now and then a performer will do a piece you know twyla tharp in different people have done music where they set ballets for him to come alive and then he had a second one for him to comes alive to and i'm looking at my notes because some of these songs baby i love your way do you feel it like i do and show me flat i think i'm jumping jack flash was the rolling stones well it's on his album well he maybe i covered it but yeah kind of yeah i was like when i heard him sing it the ok just take it from julie and then we have another performer that country artist and best country album and you know with lyle you don't necessarily think country because he does so many different kinds of music he kind of fuses a lot of different country lose gospel a lot of different things and of course lots of people know he was famed he was married to a very famous and very beautiful actress julia roberts my namesake and apparently this whirlwind love affair for like three weeks and then they yeah they met weird movie yes so lionel is and i remember we had him once down in fort myers he was the nicest guy and he this is his acoustic tour but he does all different kinds of configurations and we had the night we had him in fort myers on them if you remember there was a big pile up on seventy if you have a fighter remember that and he was sweet enough to hold the show and i was so great with the audi any that night he is such a talented lately absolutely and then one of my favorite funnyman of all time and bill maher is coming and of course we had i thought we had every comedian in the world last year but we've got some coming this year and bill maher is going to kick off our comedian a i watched him every week and you know he has new rules that's my favorite part he has new rules where he he makes things up and he has a panel and he like you know my kind of guy and he has like he doesn't just bring on democrats you know because he  takes no prisoners he has all republicans and democrats and all sorts of folks and of course this is not a show for kids this is an adult show so it's going to be funny and i am looking forward to see him seeing him or not t over the twenty six twenty six right then we just admit announce somebody and we are number one in the nation folks with selling tickets to the show susan male who you know susan boyle rocked the world from britain britain's got talent by singing a song from lame is i dreamed a dream i think it was and she put her on sale for and her shows november fifth we sold and of course keep in mind this is a tape show we told over twelve hundred half so anyway we have some really great shows starting off the year and we'll be talking about some more as well as american idol that's coming up very shortly when we're back but first we're going to have a guest a special guest from doctors hospital a place affordable than bottled water environmentally friendly and it tastes good city of sarasota water safe affordable environmentally have you seen sarasota change a lot i have there is it's definitely grown which is wonderful and beautiful places in it absolutely i can't think of living anywhere but i must say i have first hand knowledge of doctors hospital i this time last summer i had a hip replacement there dr dingell did it and your nurses were so lovely to me and it was really wonderful because you have you know all rooms which is gradually yes we really do strive for that patient  comfort exceptional experience there from the physician all the way to the nurse the volunteers and that's one thing that we do have a crowd was good i mean you know it's not like the old days where you know they come in with a cart you get to order what you want and the nurses were so kind and you know i would find someone i really really liked and then they rotate a lot so you get a little i'm like oh i want the same person but i must say doctors hospital for those  nurses health care professionals and support staff and we're really excited and proud to have about two hundred seventy five volunteers as well that donate thousands of hours each year so that's that's fantastic and you know i i i also was a patient at your emergency room and i must say i'm watching this new television show the night shift and it's nothing like that you know no no the doctor was wonderful and i got a great care in the power didn't go out you know in the surgeon wasn't making out with the nurse in the these days i don't remember seeing candy stripers is that a thing of the past around here is are there pertinent to our hospital basically the first person you see if you're pulling in and you get brought in by a golf cart and the last person you see if they take you of your wheelchair they do a various different roles including help in the marketing department as well that's wonderful we have a lot of volunteers here as well we have over five hundred service i'm sure is here and you know it's such a great community for the people that help other people and that's really really special don't you think absolutely and i know you have a special robotics section can you tell us a little bit about that absolutely we are actually the most comprehensive our box program and then  in the southwest florida and mainly because we are actually one of only thirty seven in the nation to have the maize our robotics technology and basically this assists the surgeons in complex spinal cases and it did the do the great thing about the maze our robotics program is it actually allows the surgeon to go in prior to the surgery and cater about surgery to the specific patient's needs oh that's fantastic and you think this is going to develop even more in the it and it's just expanding more and more different general procedures as well and the reason we have you want to do is we're been very happy to be associated for a number of years with dr haas doctors hospital you are a sponsor of this friday this friday fest for july yes and what you come out meet a lot of the people they just love the fact they love the hospitals here in the area and yours is really really highly thought of and i was so happy to nobody's ever happy to go to the hospital but it's great when you're there to know that you have such you know wonderful staff care and i think that's really really special absolutely and we're really excited to be plugged into the community and doing these types of events and supporting community for these types of things that's so now you have wound care there as well as a breast center tell me a little bit more about our special area absolutely

high profile but so what you want i have you and i and some of the staff had a little party for the tony awards at my house that was fun yeah and why were you specifically there julian watching the tony him come because he i saw two christmases ago i went and saw his one man show on broadway and he has little song and dance man and of course i saw his boy from oz three times because i'm a tony voter and so they invite you back and that was just fantastic and then he did a show i was on my way to china and so i flew into new york the day before and it was hugh jackman with daniel craig i'm like i'm watching a two man show with james bond and w rine for two hours i have no clue what the show was about oh i have not i what i do know either and at the end for a fundraiser for equity fights aids they each sold their t shirt their undershirt for twelve thousand dollars and people were like bidding like crazy and i said to my i had a friend with me i said don't let me raise my arm because i was afraid you know next thing i know i have a twelve thousand dollars t shirt and i can't afford that although i did get a autograph poster a few jack yes but he was he just beautiful he's stunning but there was another beautiful person on that tony award someone who's coming to the van ways all odds are mcdonald was she not you know she had a lot of mcdonald is coming here on march twenty second and earlier this summer in may i was up in new york and i saw her do lady day at emerson bar and girl which was about billie holiday which is what she just won the tour for and she was beyond believable and we've already sold a lot of tickets for that show all the great music or she won a tony award for carousel she was amazing in ragtime in fact her costar with rang time brian stokes mitchell is coming as the as the soloist with the same cincinnati pops orchestra for the holiday ever seen and just these incredible she's coming she's actually going to come a day early to sarasota i'm going to try to see if she'll do a master class for some of the low that were former psychos that would be great and then that reminds me i would have to call up her agent and talk about that yeah you know there are these things i have to do i also need to trying to get in touch with rosie o'donnell who has moved to town because she rosie does so much for children she has rosie's kids on broadway and i thought this would be perfect for he because we have such a great education program here so rosie if you're watching us give us a call because we'd love to do rosie's kids here in the van ways will along with she does a great job on broadway and rosie's comedian her you know do a show on the big stage but i really would like her to work with our education program so when rosie if you're out there give us a call nine five three three three six eight is the box office will help you out with tickets and everything anything because probably everybody that comes here she knows personally so and i'm really thrilled about that we have another just very cool show on sale for the fall as well celtic thunder celtic thunder is going to be special this year because they're doing it with an orchestra you know before they had the irish musicians but this will be a bigger production and i'm really i love their shows and they're changing up quite a bit yet the orchestra and they they are here on november twentieth and but let's talk a show about the show that's here in july we have a show here on american idol all and with our own with our secret wolf and i and of course this
