'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star Whitney Leavitt to join 'Chicago' on Broadway
This Mormon wife is trading in her ballroom shoes for the Broadway stage.
Whitney Leavitt, one of the stars of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" and a season 34 "Dancing with the Stars" contestant, will be making her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning revival of "Chicago."
Leavitt will star as Roxie Hart in the production, marking her first-ever professional theatrical role.
The reality TV personality and dancer made the announcement in a post shared to Instagram on Monday.
"Grateful beyond words to ANNOUNCE that I will be joining @chicagomusical in the iconic role of Roxie Hart," Leavitt wrote in the caption. "See you in New York City!"
Leavitt's fellow "DWTS" contestant Elaine Hendrix sent support her way in the post's comment section.
"Congratulations! Getting exactly what you wanted is pure girl fire," Hendrix wrote.
Leavitt will take over the role starting on Feb. 2, 2026. She'll star for a six-week limited engagement that ends March 15.
This isn't Leavitt's first time dancing publicly to the music of "Chicago": The mom of three also performed an Argentine tango to "Cell Block Tango" with her professional dance partner Mark Ballas in an episode of "DWTS" last season.
