PAWN SHOP LIVE! Now At Iconic Riviera Hotel Las Vegas

The producer of the Broadway-style comedy PAWN SHOP LIVE!, a parody of the story behind HISTORY’s reality smash hit “Pawn Stars,” announced today the show will be moving to the  Starlite Theatre inside the Riviera Hotel & Casino on April 21.

“We are thrilled that the show is making a move to the Strip,” said Rick Harrison. “It is close to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and I think the Riviera will be a perfect home for the show.”

Created by Emmy® award-winning producer Derek Stonebarger, the production is based on the story of the world's most famous and beloved pawn shop, Gold & Silver Pawn. PAWN SHOP LIVE! includes story contributions from Rick Harrison and the Harrison family. The break-out stars of the TV show have fully endorsed the production, which will run seven days a week at 4:30 p.m. at the Starlite Theatre.

“It’s a dream come true having PAWN SHOP LIVE! running on the Strip,” added Derek Stonebarger. “I can hardly believe how quickly the show has moved to Las Vegas Blvd. The Riviera is a perfect fit!”

PAWN SHOP LIVE! features seven live actors and dancers, as well as a puppet, celebrity guests and surprises as even the real “Pawn Stars” will appear on stage as often as their filming schedule permits. The on-stage characters are lampooned versions of Rick Harrison, Austin “Chumlee” Russell, Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison and Richard “The Old Man” Harrison - better known as Slick, Chump, Lil Boss and Old Fart.

Stonebarger developed the concept of the show while starring in Oscar: A Good Man, a play he created about former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman. Stonebarger is an award-winning filmmaker and Emmy® award-winning television producer.

PAWN SHOP LIVE! is directed and co-written by Troy Heard, one of the top theater directors in Las Vegas, a multi-year winner of Director of the Year, the recipient of the Gregory Hines Memorial Fellowship and a member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society.
