"Starting April 6, Ballas and Leavitt will star as, respectively, Billy Flynn and Roxie Hart, on Chicago for a limited run through May 3. Leavitt, who broke out on Hulu's hit The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has actually been part of the cast as Roxie since the beginning of February."
"Chicago, the longest-running American musical in Broadway history, also feels like an appropriate show for a reunion given its propensity to cast celebrity Roxies throughout the years. A slew of stars of the reality kind in particular have taken on the role recently, including Ariana Madix of Scandoval fame and Erika Jayne, one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
"Ballas is also no stranger to the Broadway stage, having previously appeared in Jersey Boys and Kinky Boots. The couple-inarguably, one of the best duo of dancers to ever hit the TV show-would put on a production akin to the best Broadway shows each week."
Mark Ballas and Whitney Leavitt, known for their exceptional dancing partnership on Dancing with the Stars, are reuniting for a Broadway production of Chicago. Ballas will play Billy Flynn while Leavitt performs as Roxie Hart. Leavitt joined the cast in early February, and Ballas begins his run in April. Both performers bring Broadway experience to their roles, with Ballas having previously appeared in Jersey Boys and Kinky Boots. Chicago, the longest-running American musical in Broadway history, frequently features celebrity performers in the Roxie Hart role, including recent casting of reality television stars like Ariana Madix and Erika Jayne.
