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

Friends, be a voice for the animals and speak up! Remember the pet shop
owner that had tried to burn her shop down with the 27 puppies inside? Well,
the puppies have been caged up at Las Vegas' municipal kill shelter, The Animal
Foundation, until ownership rights were relinquished. An agreement had been
worked out to have the puppies released to one of our wonderful rescues , A
Home 4 Spot Animal Rescue, that was going to make sure all of the puppies found
loving homes.
Well,
the politically connected Animal Foundation, who has a history of putting
financial gain before the best interests of the animals, made a back room deal
with some of the County Commissioners today. The Commissioners suddenly
supported The Animal Foundation keeping the puppies, even though they had no
legal right, so that they could RAFFLE them, for tickets going for $250 a
piece! The Humane Society of the United States is opposed to the raffling of
animals for charity and there is even a stipulation in the county code that
says no animal shall be bartered in exchange for a transfer of ownership.
Instead of focusing on finding good homes for these poor puppies, that have
been isolated for over a month, The Animal Foundation is seeing GREEN and wants
to make as much cash as possible.
Don't
let the Animal Foundation fool you, they do NOT have a shortage of funds.
According to their 2012 tax returns, they have 3.5 million sitting in savings
and they receive nearly 4 million annually in our tax dollars. Plain and
simple, this is about greed!
Bark
off with me and call the County Commissioners at 702-455-3500 and demand that
they put a stop to this repulsive puppy raffle! Ask for your Commissioner, if you
don't know who your Commissioner is they can figure it out for you, some of who
are up for reelection this year.
The
poor puppies have been through enough and shouldn’t have to continue to suffer
as The Animal Foundation tries to make a buck off of them. For those of you who
don’t know, The Animal Foundation is a high kill shelter that killed 53% of the
animals they took in last year and is also the same shelter my pawrents rescued
me from. We have been trying to have this mismanaged organization removed from
running our shelter through our non-profit NKLV (No Kill Las Vegas)
