Reality Star Leavitt Takes Center Stage on Broadway

Whitney Leavitt, a familiar face from reality television and 'Dancing with the Stars,' is embarking on a new career chapter with her Broadway debut. She will portray the notorious Roxie Hart in the celebrated musical 'Chicago,' taking the stage for a limited six-week engagement beginning February 2, 2026. Leavitt, a social media personality and mother of three, expressed her profound gratitude for this opportunity on Instagram, calling it a dream come true.

Leavitt's journey to Broadway has been building, evidenced by a memorable performance on 'Dancing with the Stars' where she performed an iconic number from 'Chicago.' This performance showcased her demanding choreography skills under pressure, a vital asset for the role of Roxie. However, the part requires more than just dance prowess, demanding sharp comedic timing, vocal strength, and the ability to embody an ambitious character.

The Tony-winning revival of 'Chicago,' now in its 29th year, is the longest-running American musical on Broadway. Leavitt joins a cast that includes other notable performers in the musical's enduring sex-and-death narrative. Her limited engagement is anticipated by fans eager to see her transition from the small screen to the prestigious Broadway stage.
