Opportunities Continue For Nene Leakes As She Joins Erotic Cirque De Soliel!

Zumanity Mistress of Senuality

Nene Leakes has been hinting at another big announcement this week and today that announcement was revealed!  Nene will be joining the cast of Zumanity, an erotic version of Cirque du Soleil performed at the New York New York Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Nene will have a ten gig run as the Mistress of Sensuality June 27 to July 1. from . The photo above shows a the regular “actress” named Edie in the role. The show describes the role as part showgirl, part cabaret queen. Mistress of Sensuality plays hostess to your every fantasy. As the sun sets and desires come alive, she uses her signature blend of sass and sensuality to guide the audience through the erotic escapades that make up the world of Zumanity.

Nene gave a statement saying, “I am so excited to be starring in Zumanity. The show is absolutely fabulous and the cast members are so talented! I can’t wait to be in the sexiest show on The Strip and perform on a Cirque du Soleil stage!”

This seems right up Nene’s alley!

Oh and BTW, Edie is a drag queen. 🙂

Update: Best I can tell there have been two permanent actors playing Mistress of Sensuality in the ten year run of the show, both have been drag queens. Nene appears to be guest starring while “Edie” takes a vacation. The show has two performances per night one at 7:30 and one at 10:00 for five days straight. The finale is always an orgy.

    She’s playing a role formerly played by a drag queen? That’s going to make it way too easy for folks to throw shade!

        Thats good, FILLING IN for the drag queen when she gets back after the 10 shows. Next season on RHOA she will be getting major shade over doing that role which is a drag queen role. Hell the drag queen may look better. loLOLOLOLOL.

    I nearly spit up my drink when I saw “Cirque du Soleil” (I didn’t notice the “Erotic” qualifier) … seems like this might be right up her alley, no shade intended.

    Well good for her! I think . I really don’t see anything sensual or sexy about NeNe but then again I’m not a man. I would imagine Kenya, Brandi, Porsha, Carlton, Cynthia or even Lisa better suited for that role .

      Must I repeat, it’s a Mistress of Ceremony role usually played by a drag queen?

        Okay, got it I guess I shouldn’t say that she’s perfect for the role and that perhaps Lawerence Mr. J(?) And their friends can give her some lessons on how to be sensual before she leaves for her gig. Was I supposed to say no shade before I began this statement or after? Well whatever the case is “no shade”

    Super sweet tea, I love it! I would think she pretends to be too much a prude to partake though. Either way, get her on the other coast and I’m happy.

    My husband and I went to see Zumanity the last time we were in Vegas (a couple of years ago now) and it was, uh, very entertaining. And, you are so right, TT, the mistress of ceremonies, so to speak, is a drag queen. Perhaps Nene didn’t detect the hint of shade there. But I bet she’ll do well, in any event. It’s a fun show to watch, but definitely not for prudes or Puritans.

    A Dollar is making NENE “Holla” NeNe are you that BROKE that you will accept this substitute gig from a DRAG QUEEN? Zu-MAN-ity? What an insult! You are a Married WOMAN! Birthed two children and no stretch marks at all.

      I know everyone gets a good laugh and being shady about Nene filling in for a drag queen. But good for her, and it’s a great opportunity to stretch her wings and get more experience under her belt. People are going to be shady about the manly/drag queen stuff anyway, why not do you? Anyway, I wouldn’t mind if someone would mistake me, a biological woman, as a fabulous drag queen. Queens give me life!

    It’s great to see Nene doing great things and making the best out of her opportunities but one has to wonder, when she does get these opportunities is it self fulfilling for her or does she do it just to brag to the other ladies all that she’s doing.

    I don’t know whether to say congratulations or smh….I guess at this point in her career she can’t afford to be choosey. Its a short gig so she’s just trying to keep the $$$ flowing. I would not want to replace a drag queen…I really don’t know what else to say…oh well.

    I can’t believe i’m defending nene but here goes.
    At least she’s doing something to get paid and not sitting on her arse waiting for 6 figure checks from an ex husband, or peddling non existent wig or clothing lines…oh wait…she IS peddling a clothing line, but whatever. you get the drift.

      Oh please, Nene is looking quite desperate in my opinion. Substituting as a drag queen is a step down for a breakout reality star who has been on “two major networks at one time”. True Cirque is popular, but being a substitue for a drag queen is not. This is the beginning of the end. It may be exciting to the stans, but how many of her ghetto fan base is checking for Cirque like that? The money is in television for the talentless. She might as well have been in Kandi’s break-even (or under as I heard) chitlin production. Isn’t Vegas the place where semi-retired A-list and celebs on their way out go? Starring in a Vegas show is one thing, but substituting would be considered resume building. Over exposure is going to kill the acting opportunities. Nene should spend more time taking classes right now to gain a talent. Over exposure only works for celebs with a talent or good looks.

      Tamara, I just discovered this blog around the holidays and I love it! You are always on it with the tea! I would love to see my favorite bloggers on WWHL interviewing the reality stars or a show covering tea topics.

        I’m happy for NeNe. She is living her life and seems to be enjoying it. I may just try to make it to a show! #teamnene

    People call Nene a drag queen on a regular basis. She might as well play the part.

    Clearly most of you have never seen Zumanity. It’s an awesome Cirque show and the Mistress of Ceremony of a great role for NeNe. She has just the right amount of sass and personalit for that role. It doesn’t matter if it’s regularly played by drag queens.
