Whitney Leavitt, known for her role in "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" and as a "Dancing with the Stars" semi-finalist, achieved a significant career milestone on February 2, 2026, with her Broadway debut. She stepped into the spotlight at New York City's Ambassador Theatre, portraying Roxie Hart in the long-running musical "Chicago." This marked her first professional theater role.

The performance drew a supportive crowd, including her "Mormon Wives" castmates and her husband, Conner, who led the audience in a standing ovation. Leavitt appeared deeply moved by the reception, holding a bouquet given by the company. The event's success was captured by Hulu cameras for a future season of "Mormon Wives."

"Chicago," now in its 29th year, is a celebrated American musical known for its iconic songs and compelling story of two murderesses seeking fame. Leavitt's engagement in the show is scheduled to run until March 15, 2026. Previously, she performed an Argentine Tango to "Cell Block Tango" from the musical on "Dancing with the Stars."
