Unlike the TV show’s all-male cast, “Pawn Shop Live” includes three women: Anita Bean (A talented actress who performs a variety of roles including Criss Angel!), Sidney Kounkel (Showgirl/Dancer) and Kady Heard (Showgirl/Dancer).

Actor Sean Critchfield (Slick Garrison) narrates various flashback sequences, some on video and others live, with the entire cast and a few guest celebrities playing a variety of characters in the family’s history. Some “facts” presented in the flashbacks: how Rick’s school problems as a child eventually made him extremely knowledgeable, how the Old Man got involved with moonshine, joined the Navy, opened a comic book store in Las Vegas, and paid a bribe to get a pawn license. We also learn how Big Hoss and Chumlee met and became friends.

The “Pawn Shop Live” cast does a great job of portraying the Pawn Stars family, Chumlee and the show’s associated characters. Much of the live show’s humor is derived from the TV show but the talented cast adds plenty of funny and exciting moments. If you’re a fan of Pawn Stars, this is a must-see show!

The plan is for one or more of the original Pawn Stars cast members to be involved in each show in some way.
