Attention, Lucy Lawless fans! Next weekend you’ll be able to get your Xena fix like never before. The warrior princess will not only appear at the 12th annual Xena Convention in Secaucus, New Jersey; Lawless will also be singing live at three shows in New York City.
Xenites will gather June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Hotel in Secaucus, New Jersey for the annual Xena Convention. Headlining the weekend’s activities will be Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor (Gabrielle), on stage together and separately on Saturday (for the first time in New York). Also appearing throughout the three-day celebration will be Brittney Powell (Brunnhilda), Alexandra Tydings (Aphrodite), Charles Keating (Zeus), Meighan Desmond (Discord/Sturgina), and Steven L. Sears (co-executive producer).
There will be special behind-the-scenes footage, on-stage presentations, trivia and costume contests, a charity breakfast, plus a merchandise emporium featuring licensed merchandise developed through NBC Universal. General admission tickets will be available at the door for $30 on Friday and Sunday, and $45 for Saturday. Tickets for children 6 to 12 are $20 each day and kids under 6 are free.

And if that isn’t enough, you can catch Lawless performing at The Canal Room in New York City. Following a sold-out gig earlier this year at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, her New York concert at the Canal Room is close to selling out, too. The performance is scheduled for three performances, May 31st, June 1st, and June 2nd.
Lawless finished a close second on the recent Fox series “Celebrity Duets,” in which she performed with musical icons Smokey Robinson and Dionne Warwick. Lawless says, “I’ve become a junkie for live performance. I can’t get enough and I can’t give enough.”
At her New York shows, she’ll sing songs by Etta James, Nina Simone, Crissy Hynde, and Melissa Etheridge, plus some of her own work.
Premium seating for the New York show is now sold out, but general tickets are available for $89. They can be purchased at the Canal Room office or by calling 212-941-8100. Doors will open at 7:30 PM. For more information, call Creation Entertainment at (818) 409-0960 or visit creationent.com.
