Whitney Leavitt is connecting her reality TV worlds, teasing that her Dancing with the Stars journey will play a key role in the upcoming fourth season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, all while preparing for her Broadway debut in Chicago.
Reality TV star Whitney Leavitt is making major moves, and fans are in for a treat as she bridges the gap between her two biggest television platforms. In an exclusive conversation, the 32-year-old revealed how her recent journey on Dancing with the Stars will be a central storyline in the upcoming fourth season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Leavitt, who first captured audiences’ attention as a breakout star on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives after going viral on “MomTok,” wowed fans and judges alike during the 34th season of DWTS in the fall. Though her run with pro partner Mark Ballas ended just one episode shy of the finale, the experience is far from over for viewers.
“People are gonna be able to see behind the scenes of my Dancing with the Stars journey, which I think is really cool,” Leavitt teased. “Not a lot of people have been able to see that, so I’m excited.” This unprecedented access promises to give fans a deeper look at the dedication and challenges she faced on the dance competition show, seamlessly blending her two reality TV personas.
A New Stage: From the Ballroom to Broadway
While the Mirrorball Trophy eluded her, Leavitt quickly found a new reason to celebrate. Just two days after her DWTS elimination, she was invited to audition in person for a coveted Broadway role after secretly sending in audition tapes throughout her dance competition run. The result? She landed the lead role of Roxie Hart in the iconic musical Chicago, with performances opening February 2nd.
Leavitt credits her DWTS partner, Mark Ballas, a former Broadway star himself, as a crucial part of her success. “He was a huge advocate and motivator for me to go after it and really give it my all,” she shared. Ballas, who famously played Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys, has been a constant source of support, offering everything from technical advice on preserving her voice and body to philosophical guidance on staying present.
“He gave me the same advice he gave me before DWTS: ‘Live in the moment and just be present, because that will be the most enjoyable. And you’ll obviously perform better rather than just anticipating the next thing,'” Leavitt recalled. This mindset has been instrumental as she transitions from the high-pressure world of live television competition to the rigorous demands of a Broadway schedule.
Support System and Star Power
As a newcomer to the Broadway stage, Leavitt has wisely leaned on the advice of those who have walked the path before her. Her go-to mentor for all things Chicago has been Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, who played the same role of Roxie for two separate runs on Broadway in 2024.
“We’ve been talking a lot — you know, the dos and don’ts, taking care of yourself while doing this, because I’ve never done this before,” Leavitt explained. This cross-show camaraderie highlights the supportive nature of the entertainment industry, where even stars from rival reality franchises can come together to uplift one another.
With a new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on the horizon and a dazzling Broadway debut just weeks away, Whitney Leavitt is proving her star power extends far beyond a single stage or screen. Her ability to connect these diverse experiences offers fans a uniquely compelling narrative of growth, ambition, and the power of saying “yes” to new opportunities.
