Overview
- Leavitt will star as Roxie Hart at the Ambassador Theatre in a six-week limited engagement from Feb. 2 to Mar. 15, 2026, marking her first professional theater role.
- She says producers flew her to New York two days after her DWTS elimination for an in-person audition and informed her the next day that she had the role after reviewing prior acting and vocal tapes.
- During DWTS, she and partner Mark Ballas earned a perfect 40/40 for an Argentine tango to Chicago’s “Cell Block Tango” before being eliminated in the semifinals.
- Leavitt describes the show’s end as feeling like a breakup and says she is still healing from the abrupt transition.
- Ballas congratulated her with a playful Instagram jab about “stinky tango shoes,” and a separate TikTok showing Leavitt by a Disney/ABC Television sign has fueled fan speculation about an unannounced project.
