Lucy Lawless Live at the Roxy
Lucy Lawless shook her groove thang last night at Los Angeles’ legendary Roxy, where her Xena: Warrior Princess costar Renee O’Connor joined her on stage for a duet of the Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty classic "Stop Draggin My Heart Around."
Renee is often a surprise guest at Lucy’s stage shows, much to the delight of her fans, and the two women’s natural chemistry and great friendship definitely add even more fun to Lucy’s performances. Saturday’s performance was their second show, as Lucy also rocked and rolled at the Roxy on Friday evening, and included another surprise guest in the form of Hairspray star Marissa Jaret Winokur.
The show was sponsored by Creation Entertainment, a company that usually focuses on fan conventions for shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Stargate, and Xena. The show was in conjunction with a Xena convention the company was hosting in Burbank, California, and Creation offered a bus service for the $59 concert to convention attendees.
According to the reports from AfterEllen.com, MC Kat Crimmons warmed up the crowd before the show with a comedy set that included at least one Cylon joke and an acknowledgment of some fan fiction writers who have included her in their stories since she started appearing at Lucy’s shows: "In most of them I’m this young Amazon warrior, and Xena shows up in my village to help us battle the Cylons. We butt heads, then go on a scouting mission and end up by the campfire. Some of the things the writers have us do, I couldn’t imagine … Well, I have imagined them. In fact, I suggested them. So, keep up the good work."
