Whitney Leavitt is transitioning from the dance floor to the Broadway stage, preparing for her debut as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago. The show is scheduled to open on February 2.
Leavitt, known for her breakout role in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and her participation in the 34th season of Dancing with the Stars, found a strong advocate in her DWTS partner, Mark Ballas. Ballas, a seasoned Broadway performer himself, offered guidance on technical aspects and overall presence.
Ballas encouraged Leavitt to "live in the moment and just be present," advice that resonated with her during both DWTS rehearsals and her preparation for Chicago. Leavitt also received valuable counsel from Ariana Madix, who previously played Roxie Hart on Broadway.
