During an exclusive conversation with TooFab in Beverly Hills, just before the launch of her latest show, All New Countess Cabaret: Marry F Kill!, Luann opened up about a significant life regret. This moment of vulnerability involved an opportunity to connect with none other than Miley Cyrus, showcasing the intersection of her personal and professional life.

As Luann delved into her cabaret journey, she recounted an intriguing incident when Miley?s team wanted her to surprise the pop sensation for an important event. This anecdote illustrates not only Luann’s connection to the music industry but also her willingness to embrace spontaneous and exciting opportunities that life presents.

Luann recalled, ?They asked me to come and surprise her [Miley] for her Grammy event,? sharing her excitement and the weight of that missed opportunity. This moment underscores her desire to engage with other artists and be a part of the larger entertainment community.

Reflecting on the situation, she said, ?They were like, ?We don?t know if she?s going to win.? But let me tell you, I have no regrets in life, except for not jumping on that plane. Miley ended up winning a Grammy, and I?m so happy for her. I just love Miley Cyrus. She?s a powerhouse, and I admire her fierce attitude.? This statement reveals Luann?s genuine admiration for Miley and her recognition of the dynamic nature of the entertainment industry.

Luann went on to describe how she incorporates Miley’s music into her performances, even mimicking the iconic Grammy performance. ?I do that dance she does on stage, with the wink,? Luann said, showcasing her playful side while honoring Miley’s artistry during her shows.

?I poke fun at myself. My show is very self-deprecating. God knows I?m not perfect, and I?ve made mistakes. So, I talk about that stuff,? she elaborated on her cabaret style. ?You don?t get to know that about me from the show, Housewives or from Crappie Lake. I feel like audiences connect with me on a deeper level. They leave saying, ?Wow, that was an incredible show!? and I love that feedback.? This insight into her performance philosophy reveals Luann’s desire to foster genuine connections with her audience.

The 59-year-old mother-of-two is currently on tour, traveling across America, with plans to venture into Canada and then overseas to the UK and Ireland. Her dedication to her performance career is evident as she embraces new audiences and experiences.

?Marry F Kill! was inspired by my fans,? Luann shared with a smile. ?At every show, I engage in a Q&A with the audience, and it was Marry, F, Kill that stood out. I was inspired by my fans, and I?m on the final stretch of this tour. I sold out in Peekskill, New York, and I sold out at Sony Hall in the city.? This highlights her interactive approach and the connection she fosters with her audience through these performances.

Following her current tour, Luann will transition into her festive production, A Very Countess Christmas, scheduled for December. This exciting seasonal show is sure to delight her fans as she continues to spread joy through her performances.

?I?m very busy, heading to Atlanta and Nashville for the first time, then Boston, Chicago, Toronto, and beyond. I love it,? she added, expressing her passion for her work and the thrill of touring.

When Luann initially embarked on her cabaret career, it became a recurring theme on The Real Housewives of New York City, with Bethenny Frankel famously proclaiming, ?Life is not a cabaret!? during a heated dinner in Miami. This phrase symbolizes the ongoing debate of balancing reality with performance in their lives.

Nonetheless, Luann believes that each passing year affirms her belief that life is a cabaret, a reflection of her ongoing journey and the experiences that shape her perspective.

?We write our own stories. That?s what I mean when I say life is a cabaret. My shows blend popular culture, cabaret, comedy, and a fashion showcase. Because you know, I?m going to be wearing Jovani,? Luann explained. This unique combination enhances the entertainment value of her performances, making them memorable experiences for her audience.

Luann also shared that she enjoys self-deprecation in her performances, including friends like Sonja Morgan in her acts, highlighting the camaraderie and humor that have become a staple of her shows.

?It?s so much fun. I take the holiday theme and kind of flip it on its head. I?m writing a new song; ?Sonja Got Run Over By A Reindeer.? So, I have a lot of fun with it,? Luann remarked, showcasing her creativity and playful approach to festive entertainment.

As for Sonja’s response to the song?

?She doesn?t even know about it yet. Sonja talks about me during her tour? It?s a fun song, not a dissing song,? Luann clarified, emphasizing the lighthearted nature of her upcoming track.

?People don?t know what to expect. So, they come in with a Toyota and drive out with a Rolls Royce,? she continued, highlighting how her performances surprise and delight her audience. This transformation reflects a unique experience that elevates their perception of her artistic talent.

?From the Housewives, you don?t really get to see my show. It?s all about the drama surrounding my cabaret because of music rights, etc. So, I love it as fans say, ?Oh my God, this is an amazing show.? They dress up for me, wearing sequins and statement necklaces. They always show up looking fabulous for The Countess. I truly appreciate that,? she expressed, emphasizing the connection she has with her fans and their enthusiasm for her work.

While Luann is thoroughly enjoying her current cabaret performances, she harbors aspirations to grace the Broadway stage in the iconic Cabaret one day. This ambition reflects her passion for theater and her desire to explore new artistic avenues.

?Absolutely! I mean, I?d love that. It?s one of my favorites. [In my show] I play a clip of Bethenny Frankel saying, ?Life is not a cabaret,? and I break into that song. So, it?s just magic,? Luann shared with enthusiasm, illustrating her connection to both her past and her aspirations for the future.
