Whitney Leavitt’s time on Broadway just got extended!
Due to popular demand, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star will return to her role as Roxie Hart from March 23 through April 5.
Whitney was originally scheduled for a six-week engagement through March 15.
But, it seems fans can’t get enough of the Utah native and have asked for more.
“SECRET’S OUT!!!!!! 👀👀👀” Whitney shared on Instagram Feb. 18.
In her video announcement, the current Roxie Hart stays fully in character, pretending to smoke a cigarette with the concrete jungle as her backdrop.
“Turns out New York wants a little more than just a Costco sample. I’m not going anywhere, baby,” she says in the voiceover before dropping her prop cigarette and smashing it underfoot.

ICYMI: Whitney Leavitt and her DWTS S34 partner Mark Ballas previously played into speculation that she’d take on the role when they performed an Argentine tango to “Cell Block Tango,” one of Chicago’s most iconic numbers.
The Dancing With The Stars semifinalist also teased the Broadway announcement on Call Her Daddy, where she and Mark performed the freestyle they never got to show on the series.
