me in the surf holidays had everybody but around the building and when it's  come from all different you know something different almost every night and yet i seemed to see the same audiences coming back for all the time that's one thing but we have women of arlen coming and you to fat is december the ten and let's just get a look at it first do but it just it's a wonderful show and then we go totally other direction you know you through something you have certainly not holiday well thank you very well carrot top is back in town carrot top of course is from florida he's here at the next night on  december twelfth and i adore carrot top because he he makes these props out of all sorts of things that go to my girlfriends were just in vegas seeing him and very special money he's been in looks or now for ten years he doesn't do that many tours this is a very sim see him and let me tell you you know i think i said on the show before one of one of my early days of my career you know my hair was especially red and he said i could be mrs carrot top but this is a great fun show this is one that i wouldn't bring the little ones to know i wouldn't know but this is one to have a great time so if you're young or you're my age come carrot top is it's always good to laugh at the holidays it is and then we go to the next night to another kind of  one of my teen heartthrob there we go again peter noone from herman's hermits i mean you know i was in love with paul from the beatles and peter noone you know and mick jagger so sure he is perfectly fine ok perfectly fine and he does all sorts of songs and he sings i'm henry the eighth and i have a disease around daughter and kind of a hush i just love it and then this year added to the show is gary you have a sponsor right so this is the perfect holiday party people they came to the show last year said this was the perfect show for the hall i don't think i saw anyone leaving the building coming christmas songs as much as after that well it was just the best time so come sunday you could enjoy yourself and then we have of are all wearing orange and then we get to one of my favorite broadway shows on december the thirtieth the producer says and hopefully they'll still be a ticket left for this one because it's very limited and you have to know somebody called mary directly now one of my favorite favorite nights of the year is new year's eve right you know and book the show that you're madly in love i have you're sitting with my wife to watch it because they're all beautiful men and i'm not allowed to see it but you're going to take us out for cocktails afterwards the nice thing about the ten tenors every time the ten tenors have come to the band wait it sells out right and the great thing is the show it's seven o'clock at night so you could come to madison's and have a nice dinner  show and then you can still make it to all the parties the ball dropping because the show will be over in time for you to ring in the new year roughly right after nine o'clock plenty of time to get out before the traffic becomes midnight and i call would be great to be the most fantastic day of the year and the ten ten years are so special i adore them well then we go to salute to vienna we've talked about that a lot january third we have a little video to see and of course i've got it i can't recommend it enough i came from the end of the summer and then i'm going to go through a few shows quickly because we have a lot of them but almost sold out his buddy the rock n roll music january five and six folks but there are still some tickets to the first performance ron white can only hold january seventh then black violin this are two guys from florida blend of classical music rock roll really wonderful things have come out of a t n t lately we have gotten a twenty five thousand dollar aspire grant for our education program which does so much and it's going to be tied into into one of our really special shows and with the improvised shakespeare but also you're sponsoring three shows and you pick such great shows you have craig ferguson who of course is a comedian and he's so funny and then kristin chenoweth who is probably my all time favorite broadway singer and that is coming in february and then josh groban who is the star for our gala which is somebody i never thought i could get so congratulations on that these grants are wonderful you've been a sponsor for years but eighteen t started a campaign gosh was it about a year ago well we started actually in two thousand and ten ok it's longer than that pain again texting and driving and now we've expanded that campaign to include any kind of distracted driving yeah and i just acted smartphone and you know it's you know and i was recently at sarasota high school where you folks gave a fantastic presentation with you know like a simulator and a film and a prayer and and a parent that has lost a child can you tell me a little bit about what you talk to students about eighteen to now has a three d app so that the you can experience distracted driving in a virtual reality so what do you do and how does that work you put a phone in the box and you can see here that you put your phone here and then you can view that  through a virtual reality viewer so the students got to experience an experience of distracted driving situation through virtual reality and so that really impacts them and allows them to see that they are  part of the problem and they are and i have to say it's also adults because you know i must admit back in the very beginning i was texting and driving and then all these campaigns came out from the phone company  and they really showed how awful crashes people could be killed innocent people walking across the street it is so important that you're doing this because it's not just as you said texting it's all sorts of posting and things like that believe it was twenty two percent who posted to social media said it was due to an addiction like they had to respond they had to and i feel that way now i mean even you know at work when you're working on the computer it used to be that you could respond to somebody a day or two later now if you don't respond immediately people get angry at you but you have a great campaign slogan it can wait right right how did you come up with that well  i think that's just our whole mission is to let people know that it can wait that they don't need to respond right away they don't need to let somebody know that they're on their way somewhere and that if it is that urgent if it isn't the  writing they can pull it right just like we used to yeah when we would have to stop and find a job so we can wait but the statistics were just astounding to me because you had all sorts of ones you know about how many do this how many do that and you know how how did you get the statistics together where people answering surveys or write it was so a survey of smartphone users i know you also have a celebrity support program and you have one very sexy young lady from television making a real statement who might that be a best right we have sofia vergara else yes so you will often see her posting on social media about our campaign and about how she does not text while driving or use or smart phone while driving yeah you know i think that it's fantastic when you can get celebrities to make the cause much more broader and again this is not just kids this is this is people my age you know you really really have to be right it's certainly nigel and teens i mean we often address teens because they're learning to drive and we want them to learn with that then have that center really understand that they cannot it's i also read it's almost as important not to text as not to drink and drive you know if it's right up there with the same kind of terrible consequences because the thing is if you've been drinking and you're driving your eyes may still be on the road but if you're distracted by your device if you're texting or if you're posting on facebook you're distracted as often as not and of course who can forget the recent time where the lady was drunk and filming herself and posting you know and you just want to say where are where your mind's right but eighteen t is trying to provide us with fantastic phones with great coverage all across the nation and you're trying to keep our children and our adults say and for that we really have to salute you and i have to thank you because your support of our grants program are your sponsorship and keeping the arts so much up there in the in the focus is fantastic and andrew hall i met on a trip to china i don't know eight or nine years ago and we've been good friends ever since and he is a back in a minute  what happens when people take action against housing discrimination my coworker was pressured by her landlord to pay her rent but sexual favors my neighbor was told she needs to get rid of her dog even audience is feeling it he will sing for ever gets out the middle of the audience and it's amazing you know and then we have forty second street tapping on your tap shoes yes and i've seen a lot of forty second street and let's see a little this one because i hear this one is actually very good and she is one of my favorite redheads and she's so beautiful she is she really is and then a show that we have a new show it's called abba mania right people may think they've seen it because we've had another abbott show here but this is a different one and this is on the twenty fifth and appa fans are like nobody else and i can't wait to see their why dancing in the aisles like they were last year and yes the show and then we have one of our biggest shows of the entire year yes we're bringing in miss renee fleming the most important famous opera singer is the world and certainly the most important soprano let's put it that way and she has done everything in her life she is a fantastic person  conducting and the orchestra is having a dinner before and then here are our own families nation has a special party where you actually get to meet rene right and i think all the tickets are sold for this show with the exception there may be some tickets left some for the you have to involving the after a party maybe the dinner so call us folks because this doesn't happen every day in sarasota and then i didn't think he was going to be back this year he didn't plan on it then suddenly popped up again frankie valli ranking williams or seasons as boys he has sold so many tickets already it's amazing it's amazing i really love the jersey boys has just taken his career to another level it has and of course you know we all talk about jersey boys selling every single six every single state here it's just fantastic and the four seasons and frankie will be here on january twenty eighth it is always sold out so if you want to take it if there are tickets get it now and now you january favorite show yes dancing with the stars january twenty ninth and that show was selling really oh well well yeah but you know i love it so much because i am such a brilliant dancer we were yeah i've heard that how the wall well i'm lucky enough to have my picture taken with julianne and and also some of the really hot looking guys that come through so i wait all year just to get my picture taken but you know they always come with half their shirts off those are some of the hot shows we have starting worry and don't forget it during this holiday season if you don't know what the buy for your wife your husband gift certificates are always available and i break it and then i think with gift certificates they can get whatever they want it's right you know and we still have so tween so people can get up close and personal with those box of a cellar and if you're not a member you become a member of our equally important you'll get advance notice of the shows before it goes out to the general public and gives you a step on anyone else in the city because they offer this you know without a club you can buy tickets before the on they'll play on sale and that's how people have gotten great seats and i have to tell you people there are at least three enormous shows i am working on and i am reading that at least all three of them confer you know how to very sure about what you so do i know i know soon sooner rather than later but we are so glad to have you here at the van ways all and we can't wait to see you again and see you at the theater and i'm married dunstal wanting to wish you along with my friend here chuck stevens happy hour that is your families to you and your families and please we want to
