shawn: oh, yes, sadly all great shows must come to an end and september 18 will mark jersey boy's final show at paris, las vegas. from the streets of new jersey to the live stage here in vegas, the show's been thrilling audiences on the strip since

can't believe it. jj: eight years, the curtain's not coming down quite yet and joining us from the cast, graham fenton who plays frankie vali and sarah lowe, swing and dance captain of the production. welcome, guys. shawn: great having you. graham fenton: good to be here. sarah lowe: thank you so much for having us. jj: wow, eight years. graham: eight years, yeah, unbelievable. sarah: i hear the music and i get a little -- i get a little nostalgic already. graham: it's just starting to set in now like wow, this really coming to an end. all depressed. jersey boys has been such a great -- not only has it been a great show, phenomenal show, if you haven't seen it, see it before it's gone, but you've been such great members of the community as well. sarah: thank you. graham: well the community has really embraced us in such an amazing way. we wouldn't have been able to run for these eight years without amazing support from the community, locals coming again and again and again, and we actually get to know some of the fans and everything, and it's been amazing. we love to give back any way

shawn: no question. jj: tell me what it's been like to play the roles you've played. graham: frankie vali, it's living legend. it's funny, the question i get a lot after the show is is frankie still alive? not only is he still alive, the guy does like 70, 80 concert dates a year, so he's still out there killing it and i'm trying to do my best frankie vali and hopefully i've honed it in over the last few years, but it's huge shoes to fill. shawn: we have the pictures up right now of you and the boys. graham: who's that guy? shawn: curiosity, have you played frankie vali in front of frankie vali? graham: i haven't played the show in front of him, but i did have to audition for him to get the show. shawn: no kidding. graham: no pressure, no pressure. shawn: how was that? graham: out of body, strange, weird. shawn: i'm gonna play you now. graham: right, exactly. feel free, i'm gonna interpret your life for you. sit back, enjoy it. jj: sarah, you've been leading the dancers so what's it's been like to lead this team through

it really feels more like a family so you kind of almost take on this position of, i hate to call it like mothering but, you know, to go in and do the same show night after night after night, you have to find your inspiration nightly and don't want it to -- part of the reason we've stayed open for so long is because of how strong it is, how great and wonderful the cast is from start to finish and they never let up. it moves so quickly and you have to be on your toes every night so t them to do that and remind them i'm not giving you this note because i personally think you're not doing terribly but the big picture is, we all -- graham: if i may gush over sarah, she has -- the swings are the hardest job in the show. she covers three different roles in what, 27 different characters or something crazy throughout those three different tracks that she's in, a that, has to keep us, you know, has the unenviable job of knocking on our doors and going okay, you snapped here instead of here. get that hand up here.

the multitasking cast member. sarah: yeah, yeah. the swings definitely have a hard time because you're not on stage nightly but have to be expected to go on at any moment and you're always in the building, so we've gone from -- i've played a man before, i've gone into different positions and we've all -- shawn: sarah, that's deep. graham: private life, we'll get into that. sarah: i'm currently looking for work so i play --. shawn: i play as a man, a woman. here's the thing, are you of one of the greatest shows on the strip. it's gonna be a celebration too. you guys are the longest running broadway production in strip history. sarah: yeah. graham: it's amazing. shawn: that's awesome. sarah: it's really, you know, to have that happen out here is so rare and to be a book musical and have a full two hour show with an intermission and have people keep coming back is really a testament to how beautifully the show is written and constructed and to how wonderful our performers are in

throughout the piece. it's hard to see something like that go because it's been so magical. shawn: no question. jj: eight years, so any great memories that come to mind? what do you think you'll walk away with? graham: getting to sing these iconic songs night after night in front of an amazing audience. it's the amount of times you get to come out after the show and see people who are, i was crying, you took me back to this amazing time in my life or seeing kids, you know, eight, ten years old who now all of a sudden discovered this music and fall in love with the show so to be able to bring that to a new generation too i think is pretty cool. jj: yeah. sarah: it really is. every night when you come out there's people who go through it and as a swing and dance captain, i get to watch the show a lot more, you know. the people who are in it don't get to watch it, and it's part of my job to watch it and see -- to be in the audience and hear people have that moment where they recognize a song or get so

when they hear sherri for the first time and the kids who come and have no idea that these songs have been going for that long, you know. shawn: sunday september 18, final show, see it before it's gone. quickly, what's next, ten seconds. graham: i'm gonna become my wife's cabana boy and chef. >> nice. sarah: i'll also be applying to be his wife's cabana boy and chef. shawn: that's great. it's great having you guys. congtu success. jj: thank you, guys. sarah: thank you so much. jj: get your dose of do-wop before the curtains close on the jersey boys at paris, las vegas, the final show is set for september 18, that's a sunday. for tickets call or visit the website on your screen.

shawn: wow. jj: wow. chris: and some of the great supporters are cesar's entertainment with 310 volunteers. we have cosmopolitan, we have amerigroup. we have so many corporate volunteers supporting this, but individuals around the community too, and it's on friday, september 30. we have a kickoff celebration at town square to start off the morning at 7:30, so the volunteers will enjoy breakfast, they'll get a goody bag, t-shirt, water bottle and then go off to their sites and they can do a half day project 9:30 to 12:30 or a full day project from 9:30 to 3:30. shawn: even the full day project's only what, six hours. chris: right. shawn: i'm good at math. that's great. how do volunteers get connected? chris: so it's very easy. we have a web site. you can go to uwsn.org/caring. sign up on our web site, takes about two minutes to three minutes. you can sign up as an individual or get your friends,

together and sign up as a team. it'll be a fun day, and the weather will be cooler too. shawn: yes, wow. could not come soon enough. jj: this is really inspirational because i know the united way has such a big reach across the communities. i just heard about all the businesses involved in the projects you do, and it just seems like there's maybe something for everybody if you want to give back. what will be some of the individual projects that happen on that day of caring? angel: we've g people can engage with children, people can engage with seniors. again, projects at schools, we've got all sorts of projects to really engage the community. shawn: absolutely. jj: it's kind of like a let's all fix up the community day. shawn: absolutely. no question. the money that you raise, the seven and change million dollars, is phenomenal. obviously you have a huge volunteer base, which is great, but to be able to do all the stuff you do is not free. this is why it's so important to

angel: yeah, absolutely. so central to our mission isy, right, it's in our name, united way. shawn: of course. angel: in making impactful change and improving the lives of southern nevadans. so the gifts that we've been able to raise through that campaign, through all of our corporate partners and our donors really go to fund collaborations and projects that impact folks in the areas of education, financial stability and health, so those are the three areas that we work in, primarily. jj: those are biggies. shawn: absolutely. shawn: something we could all use a little help with. angel: yeah, absolutely. shawn: ladies, great having you. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> appreciate it. come out and volunteer. jj: and congrats as well on raising all that money. for more information on the united way of southern nevada, head to the web site on your screen. don't forget, september 30, mark it down, is their day of caring. let's all get involved. shawn: that's as little as three hours and you can make a difference. come on. i'm catherine cortez masto

tor, i see how decisions in washington impact my patients here in nevada. so even though i'm a republican, i won't be voting for joe heck. joe heck's voted ten times to defund planned parenthood, which thousands of women depend on for cancer screenings. and heck opposes a woman's right to choose even when her health is at risk. for me and my patients,

we sent him here to fix it. but congressman joe heck became part of the problem. vested over a half-million dollars in congressman heck's campaigns, and heck supports their agenda -- privatizing social security, handing wall street billions in fees, but risking our retirement in the stock market, cutting benefits, putting wall street ahead of us. congressman heck -- what's wrong with washington.

shawn: out with the old and in with the new this labor day. don't just trash what you don't want though. cash it in. it could be worth a lot more than you think. jj: back with more is gia graduate gemologist neil sackmary with nevada coin mart. welcome back, neil. shawn: mr. sackmary. neil sackmary: hi, mr. sackmary, that's great, right? shawn: i like it. neil: you can call me neil, though. shawn: that's very nice of you. thank you. let's talk about you have all this stuff in front of us. jj: wow! shawn: you're the expert at turning all of this into money. neil: let me tell you something, i got motorcycle helmets from harley davidson, i have christmas ornaments. i have foreign currency, graded coins, proof sets, silver dollars, foreign coins, silver dollar money clips, proof sets, mint sets, silver dollars, 90 percent quarters, 1964 and older

i have autographs, i have gold coins, i have the lone ranger books, i have any type of jewelry, i have gold, silver, costume jewelry, diamonds, rolex watches. whatever you want, neil sackmary buys it all. jj: it's fair to say you buy stuff? neil: i do. jj: yes. neil: i turn stuff or junk into cash. everybody else just wants to buy what's precious so that's why when you drive around las vegas and you see all the pawnshops and all the gold buyers, let me tell you, they're interested in one thing and one thing only, that's gold because that's all they know. that's what a person does for 35 years. neil sackmary is an expert. that means that neil sackmary can stand up in a court of law because neil sackmary is a graduate gemologist from gia. when you go to someone else and you look them dead in the eye you say, are you an expert?

when you come to neil sackmary's store, nevada coin mart on the corner of jones and flamingo, i have armed, on-staff security at the front door. let me tell you, if you go somewhere and they have firearms in the store because people are wearing them and they get robbed, they're running for the back room and you are left with the robber. neil sackmary and nevada coin mart have armed on-staff security at the front door, and they're there for your protection. shawn: absolutely. they're there to keep the guff away. neil: 100 percent. business and not having a security guard? i would walk in, i would look at the business and go, are you guys going out of business? like, know what i mean? i don't understand. you have four walls, they're all white. you can't afford something on the walls? neil sackmary has the most beautiful store you've ever seen in your life, you come in. shawn: it is nice. neil: it is beautiful and you'll enjoy it. jj: not just security guards, but you have how many cameras in the store? neil: i have over 50 cameras that are all high definition, they move with a joy stick and all that stuff.

i can see somebody's nose if i have to, which by the way, i watch the competitor. i just posted about it the other day. when i was leaving the store the other day, the competitor was right in front of me. shawn: oh! neil: and as i was pulling out and i was right behind him, i made a facebook post. listen, i'm flattered. let me just say it to you like this, but you, not a gold buyer. neil sackmary is a gold buyer, a silver buyer and a costume buyer. i don't have to sit and watch somebody and go, wow, that could have been me. shawn: how does he do it? that's what they wonder. so, a bunch of stuff. people end upbringing in bags or tupperware or rubbermaid containers of stuff. neil: garage bags, this is a box. can you imagine. like what do you do. shawn: do you have to de-tangle everything or clean it before you bring it in? neil: bring it in, don't do that. you know, it's really funny because i tell everybody, i'm talking to you. you need to stop what

it's labor day, you need to get up out of bed, stop eating, finish the last bite. whatever it is that you're doing, nothing is more important than coming down right now, seeing neil sackmary, turning stuff or junk into cash. do it now, do it now, right now, come and see me, neil sackmary. jj: you're on to something because people have the day off today. they might be wanting to clean out the closet. neil: of course. jj: is there anything they shouldn't bring down? neil: no. jj: to sell? neil: no, you might need money for hot dogs and that's later in the day, okay? you could come down in the morning because i'm open 9-6, 365 day a year. that means monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday. oh, and of course i'm open sunday like a real business owner should be from 9-6. i don't decide to sleep in or not show up. neil sackmary is there every day. come and see me. shawn: don't need a decoder ring to figure out when you're open? neil: no, if you have a business and you're open different hours on sunday, you should be out of business. you should just go home and sleep.

you want to be loyal to your customers and you want your customers to show you loyalty, that means you're there for them every minute of every day and that's why they come and see me. come and see me right now, stop what you're doing, come and see me. jj: you have a very strong work ethic. neil: i do. jj: yes, you do. neil: and that enables me to have the hypnotic trance. shawn: the hypnotic trance. before we go, how about the hypnotic trance of food in our tummy. we need hot dog money. neil: hot dogs, very quickly. glazers greatest supermarket ever, $200 or more, you get a $50 glazer gift certificate because you might need money for hot dogs. do it at glazers, come in and see me, i give you money, you can go get hot dogs or hamburgers or cheese or whatever it is that you need. the important thing is this -- few seconds left, i'm talking to you. jj: uh-oh. shawn: uh-oh. neil: now need to stop what you're doing. this is the hypnotic trance, and i'm talking to you and you need to get up what you're doing and
