COUNTESS AND FRIENDS BIOGRAPHY

Countess Luann is a star, author, actress, singer and mother. An original cast member of Bravo’s hit TV show of , Luann just finished filming her tenth season with a weekly viewership of three million.

Most recently Luann appeared in her first show #CountessAndFriends at Feinstein’s 54 Below. After rave reviews, demand grows for more shows as they continue to sell out. #CountessAndFriends is now set to go across the country this summer.

Luann is presently working on a new single to add to her global dance hits “Money Can’t Buy You Class”, “Chic C’est La Vie” and “Girl Code.”

Author of Class With The Countess, she is also at work on her second book. #cOUNTESSANDFRIENDS

Luann de Lesseps—known as the Countess on “The Real Housewives of ”—is a television personality, pop singer and author. She has broken all box office records at New York’s famed Feinstein’s 54 Below with her acclaimed, long-running neo-cabaret variety act, #CountessAndFriends. The string of sold-out successes continues as de Lesseps plays to standing room only crowds in the most desired theaters and supper clubs around the globe. Hip as a New York minute and classically chic, the glamorous life of de Lesseps in the fast lane on several continents (together with a solid decade at the center of reality TV) provides fodder for hilarious stories, one-of-a-kind anecdotes and, of course, some standards and pop songs in her inimitable style. In #CountessAndFriends she is joined by an eclectic group of the most sought after stars of stage and screen, both iconic and ascendant, delivering a glorious return to the heyday of cosmopolitan evening entertainment.

#CountessAndFriends is written and directed by Out Magazine’s “The Midas of Cabaret” Ben Rimalower with musical direction and arrangements by Grammy winner . “Countess of The Real Housewives of New York City fame takes to the stage in a cabaret show entitled ‘#CountessAndFriends’ (hashtag hers) at Feinstein’s 54 Below, a venue whose Haunted Mansion meets bordello décor was more than suited for the occasion.

Luann de Lesseps is arguably the classiest and most royal-seeming of the housewives... A VISION OF CLASS!! And countess who is a-THRIVING! Luann donned a floor-length beaded white gown that had me screaming Oh God Yes! YESSSS! To The Dress.”

“Standing in front of a baby-grand piano in her bright Upper West Side penthouse, freezing rain tapping gently against the windows, Ms. de Lesseps studied a printout of her introductory remarks for #CountessAndFriends, a cabaret show that will debut at the nightclub Feinstein’s/54 Below on Feb. 27. As the Grammy-winning composer Billy Stritch played “With a Little Help From My Friends,” she addressed an imaginary crowd...To know that the show was totally sold out and people are still trying to get tickets is a really great feeling,” said Ms. de Lesseps.
