The role is especially meaningful for Leavitt, who previously performed to “Cell Block Tango” during her run on DWTS—giving her an early connection to the show long before landing the iconic part.

With a production history that includes Broadway legends like Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera, plus a film version led by Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chicago remains a landmark in musical theater. For Leavitt, this debut marks the start of an exciting new era—and Broadway audiences are ready to watch her rise.
