Xena: Warrior Massage Princess
I’m not sure this is newsworthy, but it sure gave me a tickle. And I’m not saying where. Lucy Lawless, TV’s super heroine on Xena: Warrior Princess, was in town last week to perform five shows with the always dazzling Seattle Men’s Chorus, along with Tony Award winner Faith Prince.
It appears the New Zealand bombshell arrived in town with a kink in her neck, or back. A chorus member, Matthew Haggerty - who just so happens to be a massage therapist - was called upon to work on Xena’s, I mean Lawless’ troubling area at the 5th Avenue Theatre, where she was due to co-star opposite Prince and the SMC in a musical production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Supposedly, the on-the-spot massage did the trick. So pleased was Lawless by this therapist’s magical hands that she scheduled another massage to feel extra-relaxed before the big show, and apparently she was rubbed down right next door to my office in Matthew’s studio! Had I known at that exact time she was within crawling distance of my office,
I would’ve offered to dispense the oil. Not because I’m sooooo in love with her. But because I’m such a pathetic star struck queen. Here’s a request for the Seattle Men’s Chorus. Get on the horn with Hugh Jackman and bring him to town for one of your performances. And let’s see what kind of kinks he has.
