The RHUGT cast member is the star of her own tour.
Luann de Lesseps is staying booked and busy in the new year.
The former The Real Housewives of New York City cast member is ramping up for the next leg of her ongoing cabaret tour, and shared some exciting details with The Daily Dish.
What is Luann de Lesseps doing next?
Luann and her “wifey,” Sonja Morgan, recently teamed up for Bravo’s Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake, where the duo tried to help revitalize a city in Illinois.
“We’re like Laverne and Shirley,” Luann said laughing. “We even have the same initials, you know?”
Luann couldn’t imagine doing Crappie Lake with anyone else, telling The Daily Dish they’re like The Odd Couple, referring to Neil Simon’s play about two best friends who are complete opposites.
“It’s exciting — it’s all-new and I’m working on it right now, getting prepared,” Luann said.
The evening of music is directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and musical director Brian Nash. Some of the songs in her set are her hits like “Money Can’t Buy You Class” and “Feelin’ Jovani.”
The most fun part of touring is picking out her dresses for each number, Luann explained.
“I choose everything myself and I go into the Jovani showroom and it’s pure heaven,” Luann said.
Luann highlighted some of her upcoming shows in February, including a performance at the Wiltern in Los Angeles. She also has stops planned in Boston, New York, and London.
Her RHUGT co-star Kelly Bensimon admires Luann’s work ethic, telling The Daily Dish: “It’s more than just a show for her.”
“[Luann] is such an amazing storyteller,” Kelly added about the tour. “I saw her in the show at the very beginning and it was so good and I can’t wait to see it now.”
Although she’s been touring the last few months, Luann was able to spend some time with both of her kids, Victoria and Noel, over the holidays.
“[Noel’s] an amazing painter, you’ve got to check out his work on his Instagram,” Luann said. “Victoria lives with me in the Hamptons, which I love having her around.”
If you want to see the cabaret show, well, tickets for the tour are available now with dates through June 2024 with more dates promised soon on her website.
