If your idea of a perfect night out involves martinis, one-liners and a little Bravo nostalgia, clear your calendar: Luann de Lesseps is heading across the U.S. with her touring cabaret show this spring, bringing the larger-than-life energy she’s honed onstage and on reality TV to a number of different venues.
Best known as an original cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, de Lesseps has spent the past several years transforming her pop-culture persona into a full-fledged live act. What started in 2018 as a Manhattan cabaret experiment quickly evolved into a touring production blending music, storytelling and audience-friendly humor.
The multi-city run that also includes stops in South Florida, Charlotte, North Carolina and Alexandria, Virginia. In Florida, things kick off on March 31 at Plaza Live, followed by a Fort Lauderdale performance on April 1 at the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and a Clearwater show on April 2 at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre.
Fans can expect a setlist that leans into her cult-favorite singles like “Money Can’t Buy You Class” and “Feelin’ Jovani,” alongside new material and personal anecdotes drawn from nearly two decades in the spotlight. The tone is deliberately self-aware: part cabaret diva, part reality-TV raconteur with plenty of wink-and-nudge references that longtime viewers will recognize instantly.
Before reality fame, de Lesseps worked as a model and nurse, later building a career that's spanned music releases and book publishing to acting appearances and televised competition shows. In recent years, she’s expanded her onstage presence, leaning into the theatrical side of performance with a format that’s more intimate than a typical concert.
South Florida audiences, in particular, make a fitting backdrop. The region has long been a recurring setting in her personal storyline and a favorite destination for Bravo devotees, meaning the shows often feel less like traditional gigs and more like a live taping of a glamorous inside joke shared between performer and crowd.
Whether you’re a die-hard Housewives fan or just looking for an evening that veers toward the campy side of cabaret, this spring’s run promises plenty of sparkle. Dress codes may vary, but one thing’s guaranteed: expect sequins, sing-alongs and at least one moment where the room feels like a rowdy piano bar.
Tickets for the various shows are available here.
