I don't know if this show will succeed or not, but it is interesting to see what the Pawn Stars have lent their name to.
From Robin Leach and the Las Vegas Sun:
One of television’s biggest hit shows is becoming a live downtown theater production. ‘Pawn Shop Live!” is a parody blessed by our favorite History Channel “Pawn Stars” stars who promise to drop in and greet Golden Nugget audiences every now and again.
Rehearsals start next week for the Jan. 21 opening, with 4 p.m. performances daily Tuesdays through Saturdays (dark Sundays and Mondays).
The show will feature celebrity video cameos and guest stars. One of the first will probably be rapper Flavor Flav playing a ninja version of himself in a dream sequence with the character Chump (for Chumlee) fighting evil villains.
The cast includes 20 recorded actors in film clips, plus, at least seven onstage actors and dancers working with a production crew of 10 led by local award-winning director and co-writer Troy Heard.
Troy is a Las Vegas-based writer/director, a recipient of the Gregory Hines Memorial Fellowship and an associate member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society. His directing credits include “Death of a Salesman,” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Hell Cab.” His writing credits include “Summer Camp: The Musical and Seance!” http://www.lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2013/nov/29/photos-pawn-shop-live-parodies-pawn-stars-debuts-j/
Dancers and Pawn Stars in the same sentence? Hardly likely.
No, I don't plan on going to the show.
No ticket prices have been announced and the theater they are in seats 600.
