Whitney Leavitt Shines at Tony Awards

Whitney Leavitt and her husband Conner Leavitt attended the 79th annual Tony Awards at New York City's Radio City Music Hall on June 7, 2026. Whitney surprised attendees with an appearance during host Pink's opening number, a performance that also honored the 30th anniversary of Chicago. This marked a significant moment for the couple, who have both recently ventured into live theater.

Leavitt made her Broadway debut earlier in February, starring as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago. Her husband, Conner, followed suit with his Off-Broadway debut in May as part of 11 to Midnight's cast. The couple, married since 2016, relocated to New York City for Whitney's role in Chicago, which concluded its run on April 5.

Conner expressed that Whitney's journey inspired him, stating her "experience onstage really helped me find a love and appreciation for the theater." Whitney also shared her adjustment to the demanding pace of live theater, noting the unique energy of a live audience as the most rewarding aspect of her Broadway run.
