Whitney Leavitt is officially making the leap from reality television and social media fame to the bright lights of Broadway. The rising star is set to make her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago, one of the most celebrated and long-running musicals in theater history.
Best known for her time on Dancing with the Stars and her role in Hulu’s breakout reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Leavitt has built a loyal following thanks to her mix of competitive dancing, lifestyle content, and candid family moments online. Now, she’s turning that momentum into a major stage moment with her first professional theater role.
When and Where tor See Whitney Leavitt in Chicago
Leavitt’s limited engagement begins February 2, 2026, at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City and will run through March 15, 2026. Fans will see her take on the role of Roxie Hart—the ambitious showgirl who transforms scandal into stardom—in the classic story of fame, crime, and spectacle created by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb, with music by John Kander.
The role is especially meaningful for Leavitt, who previously performed to “Cell Block Tango” during her run on DWTS—giving her an early connection to the show long before landing the iconic part.
With a production history that includes Broadway legends like Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera, plus a film version led by Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chicago remains a landmark in musical theater. For Leavitt, this debut marks the start of an exciting new era—and Broadway audiences are ready to watch her rise.
