Reality television star Whitney Leavitt announced Monday that she will be making her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the musical “Chicago.”
“Grateful beyond words to ANNOUNCE that I will be joining @chicagomusical in the iconic role of Roxie Hart 💕 beginning Feb.2nd 2026! See you in New York City! #chicagoonbroadway” Leavitt wrote in a social media post. The post included a jazzy video of her in a little black dress, sitting in a chair and rhythmically snapping her fingers.
Leavitt, a mother of three once known solely as a #MomTok influencer, will step into the role for a limited six-week engagement through March 15 at New York’s Ambassador Theatre.
The show, which has earned six Tony Awards and a Grammy, is set in the 1920s and centers on two women accused of murder, featuring songs including “All That Jazz” and “Cell Block Tango.”
Leavitt, who has previously spoken about her love of dance and entertainment, is joining a long list of powerhouse performers to play Roxie Hart, including former Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix, model and actor Pamela Anderson, “Pose” star Angelica Ross, and R&B singer Brandy Norwood.
Many viewed Leavitt as a villain in Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
Recently, she competed in Season 34 of the reality show “Dancing With The Stars,” where she and her partner, Mark Ballas, danced to “Cell Block Tango.”
Leavitt was sent home the week before the finals as the sixth-place contestant.
