Luann de Lesseps teases steamy cabaret tour and new music
Luann de Lesseps is bringing the romance — and the drama — to the stage.
The “Real Housewives of New York City” icon is gearing up to launch her new “LOVE” tour on Oct. 18 at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, and she tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” that fans can expect a sultry new chapter of her ever-evolving cabaret career.
“Life is a cabaret, so it’s never really the same right?” de Lesseps said exclusively. “So, the ‘LOVE’ tour is really based on love lost and love gained — and music that kind of surrounds that notion.”
The Bravolebrity explained that the concept was inspired in part by her recent reality TV experience.
“Since I started this, it really [was inspired by my time on] ‘Love Hotel.’ That’s really where the idea came from and I thought, ‘That sounds sexy to me. Let’s talk about love, let’s talk about heartbreak,’” the “Money Can’t Buy You Class” singer shared.
“And how we move places for other [people] — we move in with people, we move countries. I’ve done so in the past! So, I’ve got history and stories to tell.”
For de Lesseps, one of the most exciting parts of creating a new cabaret show is weaving together music, fashion and personal storytelling.
“That’s what I love about cabaret,” she said. “It’s the story, it’s picking the song I love and then [deciding] what story I can tell that’s going to get me into the song. And then [I’ve got to wear] that perfect dress that speaks volumes on its own.”
Fans will also be treated to brand-new music.
“So, this tour, I have a new song and that one’s a banger,” de Lesseps teased. “You’re going to love this new song! Can’t tell you [much else], but it will be out this fall. So, I’m super excited about that.”
The nine-city trek wraps Dec. 5 at New York City’s Town Hall.
Meanwhile, de Lesseps is also preparing for the debut of E!’s highly anticipated reality series “The Golden Life,” which is expected to premiere this fall. The show reunites several beloved “RHONY” originals, including Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Dorinda Medley and Kelly Bensimon.
The Countess revealed that the steamy promotional image for her “LOVE” tour — which features her lounging in a swimming pool surrounded by handsome men — was filmed for the new series.
“I think you saw the cover art which is me in a swimming pool surrounded by all these boys,” she said with a laugh. “We actually shot that around the time we were shooting the E! show, so it’s going to be fabulous!”
As for reuniting with her longtime castmates in Palm Beach, Florida, de Lesseps said some things never change.
“All the girls are back together and, you know, nothing really changes,” she joked. “Ramona thinks she’s the queen of Palm Beach. OK. I only got married there, right? And arrested! So I think I beat you!”
