Real Housewife LuAnn de Lesseps Confirms Broadway Dreams

Reality star LuAnn de Lesseps, known as “the Countess” because of her former marriage to Frenchman Alexandre de Lesseps, confirmed to Broadway.com that she’s got her eye the Great White Way. “I’ve actually been approached by some producers from Chicago, and so I’m looking at it,” she said on the opening night red carpet at A Life in the Theatre. “I’m filming right now,” she added of her continuing role in Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York, “but maybe in 2011. You never know.”

The former Wilhelmina model released the single “Money Can’t Buy You Class” in May and was photographed backstage at La Cage aux Folles in August. “I love musicals, so [Broadway] is a great fit for me,” de Lesseps said. Asked about her musical theater skills, she replied, “I love to sing. Dancing is new to me, but if the Palins can do it, why can’t I? Right? Why not?”

Hey, if Broadway doesn’t work out, there’s always Dancing with the Stars, currently featuring teen mom Bristol Palin and reality star Audrina Patridge, among others.
