You're on with Mario Lopez. Tub

0:03

You're on Mario and Courtney Lopez joining me now on

0:05

Zoom from the Royal Housewives of Beverly Hills.

0:08

Erica Jane, Welcome back, Erica.

0:09

Have you been I'm good. How are

0:12

you like to see you?

0:12

I'm well. Thanks for taking the time to hang

0:15

with us. Congrats on the new dock. Bet

0:17

it all on Blonde that is dropping

0:19

on one on Wednesday. What can we expect?

0:23

It is the roads in Las Vegas, my Las Vegas

0:25

residency. So you get to see a different part

0:27

of my life, separate and apart

0:29

from real housewives in Beverly Hills.

0:32

How how was it different from filming

0:34

the Dock compared to the housewives.

0:38

So you actually are with me on the

0:40

creative journey and not in a group

0:42

of women, which is a completely different

0:44

vibe. You're here in my home. You get to see what goes

0:46

down and rehearsal, what happens when we

0:49

move to the theater in Las Vegas, and

0:51

everything in between. And it's hard to now to show

0:53

eighty minutes and thirty days.

0:55

No, it really is. And I know you've been at this

0:57

for a while. This is not something that you just sort

0:59

of too recently. You've been putting in the

1:01

work for a minute here, and yeah,

1:04

these sort of shows are are daunting.

1:06

What's the biggest obstacle you faced

1:08

in Vegas while putting it together?

1:11

For me, it was different Mario this time.

1:13

I mean, I grew up in musical theater, but you know,

1:15

I had done Broadway, where you are

1:17

in an ensemble and you can do shows

1:19

where it's like thirty minutes or forty minutes. But to do

1:22

your own show in Las Vegas at a very

1:24

critical personal time so you

1:26

have two like stories running

1:28

parallel, was very difficult because it almost

1:30

was hard to access the fun

1:33

and the joy of putting on a show when you have

1:35

like heavy things going on in your personal

1:37

life.

1:38

Where in Vegas by the.

1:39

Way House of Blues, Mendeale

1:41

Bay.

1:42

Oh fun, it's a fun venue. Okay, nice?

1:44

What do you like better?

1:45

The Vegas stage or the Broadway stage?

1:48

Oh? Two different things, you know. I mean,

1:50

obviously there's the absolute cinnacle

1:53

of being on Broadway, which is like

1:55

you know, as the musical theater person is the best.

1:57

But being in Las Vegas

1:59

and having those over the top you know

2:02

venues and access to all of that great

2:04

Vegas energy is certainly something

2:06

completely different but equally as important.

2:08

Absolutely, let's talk about

2:11

housewives. So Reunion one

2:13

just aired. Reunion Part

2:16

two is coming up next week. I watched

2:18

it last night, and you

2:21

got off pretty there was nothing

2:23

big happened for you yesterday. Is

2:25

there anything you can tease coming up? And

2:27

then in part two or three.

2:30

Well, I'm in a really good place this year, which I

2:32

haven't been in the last couple of years. You

2:34

know, I finally had a chance to come up

2:36

for air and I don't feel cornered or pressured,

2:39

so I was in a much more relaxed state.

2:41

I think that you know, Kyle has the

2:43

toughest time to read as well. I

2:47

am able to sit back and give my opinion

2:50

with some sort of ease this year, which

2:52

I appreciate.

2:53

And you totally can tell that you're

2:55

much more relaxed. And let me tell you, this is my

2:57

favorite reunion outfit and Hairstoff

3:00

aisle for you.

3:01

Oh thank you. I feel really good about it as

3:03

well. It was a nice dress where because you know, you have to

3:05

think about this like you're seated on this very

3:08

small sofa for about eleven twelve

3:10

hours and it can get you know,

3:13

you're used to being in a costume, but you know it

3:15

can get really.

3:16

Uncomfortable at time eleven twelve

3:18

hours. That sounds like an.

3:20

Interrogation that you that

3:22

it is. You know what it is.

3:24

It is right. Noone's like this like it's

3:26

breaking you all down, like breaking your

3:29

spirits. It's crazy.

3:32

Well it's it's yeah, and it's not

3:34

for it's not it's not easy.

3:36

I think that people do not understand

3:38

the time that goes into this, and you

3:41

have to pay total attention. You have to be really clocked

3:43

in for one of these things, otherwise you get like thrown

3:45

for a total loop.

3:46

I bet they could catch you slip it and then an editing

3:48

all of a sudden, you know, they catch you that vulnerable moment

3:50

and then the boom, that's what airs.

3:52

So you guys, I have been caught many a time

3:54

at a very vulnerable moment and it did not work

3:56

out well for me. But it's also part of the game, so

3:58

you have to sort of commit like this is these are

4:01

the rules, and sometimes you win and sometimes

4:03

you lose.

4:03

Do you feel these reunions bring

4:06

more closure, more drama?

4:09

Does it help find peace?

4:12

I think all of the above. It depends on you,

4:15

your position and who you're talking

4:17

to. Like, you know, if you have

4:20

massive fallout with somebody, perhaps you

4:22

don't you know, totally resolve it. But

4:24

if it's something you can get past, maybe

4:26

you do. So at the reunion, are you cool with everyone

4:28

or I am? I don't

4:30

know if they're cool with me, but I'll find you

4:34

know. And that's the other thing too, is you know, you can

4:36

only speak from your own perspective. You know,

4:38

I know what I you know how I feel, but you

4:41

know how other people feel.

4:42

That's on that Let me ask you something.

4:44

How many f's do you give?

4:47

Less and less? I mean zero? Now

4:49

it's like negative a thousand.

4:51

That's what her song?

4:52

Yeah, oh

4:56

my god, sorry.

4:59

Well speaking of you were just on Name that Tune

5:01

last month?

5:02

Tell me about that Name that

5:04

tune was very hard and I did.

5:06

I shocked myself. You

5:09

know, you fly over, you do it and it's like this, It's

5:12

very difficult because all of a sudden, the

5:14

songs that you think you knew are it's like one

5:17

or two notes on the piano and Randy,

5:19

but I did, okay, so I won.

5:21

Oh no, I was shocked Oh, good for you.

5:24

I went sixty two thousand dollars for Glad,

5:27

which is great, and you

5:29

know, I had a nice time on the show.

5:32

It's a little different under the lights, huh, because like when

5:34

you're at home watching and then you played under the lights a little

5:37

different.

5:38

It's very different, and the audio

5:40

is very different. I'm like, wait a second, like I grew up

5:42

in music, Hold on a second, this doesn't sound anything.

5:44

Yeah, like what is going on?

5:46

And you know, just a couple of plinks on the piano.

5:48

I'm like, no, no, no, one

5:51

last question. I know you have the residency in

5:54

in Vegas. Any shows you're planning

5:56

in La by chance?

5:59

I am totally open. We finished

6:01

out strong on twenty twenty three, and

6:03

twenty twenty four is s to be you know, filled

6:05

with shows, So I'll keep you posted.

6:07

Lopezz will be there, Yeah for sure.

6:10

Yay.

6:11

Well, thanks for taking the time to hang

6:14
