Mormon Wives Star Joins Bobby Darin Musical
13 Aug
Summary
- Whitney Leavitt to play Sandra Dee in 'Just In Time'.
- Leavitt's limited six-week engagement begins December 1, 2026.
- Her role in 'Chicago' broke box office records previously.
Whitney Leavitt, a breakout star from "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," is set to join the Broadway musical "Just In Time." The production, a bio-musical centered on Bobby Darin, will see Leavitt step into the role of Sandra Dee, Darin's former wife.
Leavitt's engagement is a limited run of six weeks, commencing on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, and concluding on Sunday, January 10, 2027, at the Circle in the Square Theatre. This period encompasses the highly profitable Christmas and New Year holidays.
Her previous role as Roxie Hart in the long-running revival of "Chicago" was a significant box office success. During her tenure, the production shattered records, achieving its highest grossing period in 29 years and necessitating two extensions. Since her departure in May 2026, "Chicago's" weekly gross receipts have seen a notable decrease.
"Just In Time," which opened on April 26, 2025, stars Jeremy Jordan as Bobby Darin. The musical has already recouped its capitalization, a notable achievement for the 2024-2025 Broadway season. Leavitt's addition is anticipated to bring similar commercial success to the production.
