Buckle Up, as Lucy Lawless, Television's Xena: Warrior Princess Returns to Los Angeles with Concert Filled with Sex, Drugs, Temptation and Redemption!

Following sold out performances in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and London, actress Lucy Lawless will return to Los Angeles to bring down the house with her latest show “The Pleasuredome." The concert is scheduled for two performances, Friday and Saturday, January 30 and 31, at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood.

This show is based on a screenplay set in the time when the music group Frankie Goes to Hollywood ruled the airwaves as well as everyone’s T-shirts. “This post-disco period was epitomized by high times in low places,” says Lawless. “Where disco was a sparkly diversion from the humdrum. The era I grew up in fully acknowledged, even celebrated, its own dark side.”

To tell the story, Lawless has chosen an eclectic mix of songs from top artists from the great Patty Smith, harbinger of it all, Eurythmics, Soft Cell and Cyndi Lauper to Garbage, Marilyn Manson and Jet.

“The Pleasuredome” brings the audience into a world of sex, drugs, temptation and redemption, which, Lawless says, "I don't know why, but I do 'Bad-Girl' really well." She further states, "My fans always enjoy a tale of redemption...with a heapin' helpin' of Wickedness along the way."
Joe LoDuca, Emmy Award winning composer of Xena: Warrior Princess, has helped the New Zealand born star put together a remarkable band. The show will also feature actor/singer Laura Sperrazza.

Lucy Lawless is best known for her role as Xena in the hit series Xena: Warrior Princess. Recently she appeared in the Disney blockbuster comedy Bedtime Stories, has a recurring role on SCI FI Channel’s Battlestar Galatica, and has done a guest appearance on Showtime’s The L Word. Lawless also took second place on the Fox competition series Celebrity Duets where she performed with musical icons Smokey Robinson and Dionne Warwick.

Tickets for the Los Angles show are $59, mature audience recommended. The Roxy Theatre is located at 9009 West Sunset Blvd. Doors will open at 7:00 PM, concert starts at 8:00 PM. For complete information go to www.lucyconcert.com.
