After an impressive run on this season of Dancing With the Stars , Whitney Leavitt is leaving the small screen to make her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago . She teased the announcement while appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast last week. “What I can say is that a dance that Mark and I performed to on Dancing With the Stars is going to come to life. And everyone’s gonna know on Monday,” she said, not-so-subtly referring to the pair’s dance to “Cell Block Tango” from the play.
Leavitt announced the news on Instagram with a clip of her sitting in a chair and snapping her fingers to the intro of “Roxie.” “Grateful beyond words to ANNOUNCE that I will be joining @chicagomusical in the iconic role of Roxie Hart 💕,” she wrote in the caption. “See you in New York City!”
