Whitney Leavitt Makes Broadway Debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago: Limited Engagement at Ambassador Theatre

Whitney Leavitt, known for her appearances on Dancing with the Stars and Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is set to make her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago. Her limited six-week engagement at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City will begin on February 2, 2026. This marks Leavitt's first professional theater role, bringing her dance and social media expertise to the iconic musical.

Chicago, the longest-running American musical on Broadway, tells the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, two murderesses who seek fame in the Vaudeville circuit. With a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, the musical features classic songs like “All That Jazz” and “Razzle Dazzle.” Leavitt's connection to Chicago dates back to her time on DWTS, where she performed an Argentine Tango to "Cell Block Tango," a memorable number from the show.

Originally premiering in 1975, Chicago has seen multiple revivals and adaptations over the years. The 1996 revival, starring Ann Reinking and Bebe Neuwirth, won six Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. The 2002 film adaptation, featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renée Zellweger, garnered critical acclaim and six Oscars, including Best Picture.
