She is also the executive producer of the feature film.
Early Christmas present
On Wednesday, 17 December, Whitney Leavitt confirmed that she has signed her first movie, “All for Love”, and stars opposite Jesse Kove.

Big Broadway debut
Whitney Leavitt has surely had one hell of a year. Interestingly, this announcement comes shortly after Leavitt revealed her Broadway debut. Earlier this month, she announced that she will be making her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the upcoming production of Chicago. Her run begins on 2 February 2026 and will be a six-week limited engagement at the Ambassador Theatre through March 2026. She expressed her excitement about being part of the Tony-winning revival. “Grateful beyond words to ANNOUNCE that I will be joining @chicagomusical in the iconic role of Roxie Hart 💕 beginning Feb. 2nd 2026! See you in New York City! #chicagoonbroadway,” she wrote on Instagram. Chicago is the longest-running American musical in Broadway history, and the upcoming production marks its 29th year. Chicago is directed by Walter Bobbie, choreographed by the legendary Ann Reinking, with music by John Kander. It is penned by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse.
