‘It’s a great, great new show,’ Luann she said, describing it as ‘a beautiful mixture of the songs I love personally’ which get their own special Countess twist.

Rather than inviting special guests on stage as has been done in the past, these next few performances will be all Countess, all the time.
‘I’m doing it on my own because I would notice people would start looking away,’ she laughed. ‘I work really hard on my shows.’
‘It’s a fun, fun show,’ she teased of the show which is part fashion show and part cabaret with an audience Q&A. ‘Get ready for the ride!’
The Cabaret tour will spend several days in New York City and then head to Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco and end with a string of performances in June in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, fans are gearing up for big changes in the Big Apple with RHONY being split into two different series: a spin-off featuring past beloved stars and a completely recast version of the original show.
‘I’d love to see Dorinda come back, I’d love to see Kelly Bensimon, I’d love to see Jill Zarin – even Aviva Drescher,’ Luann revealed to DailyMail.com, adding with a laugh: ‘I think she got a bad shake from the last shake.’
‘You know that we’re at a crossroads for RHONY,’ Andy Cohen previously told the Variety. ‘We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that we’ve come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans.’
As for Luann herself, she revealed that she has not yet been officially asked to join the OGs cast and was surprised when Cohen made the announcement that Bravo was making over the show.
‘I was not mad at it,’ she said. ‘I was surprised, obviously … not expecting that left hook.’
‘I still don’t have a contract – no official ask,’ Luann explained. ‘But, to do the OG show would be great fun.’
On tour: The Cabaret tour goes through June with stops in the U.S. and Canada
