“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Whitney Leavitt hasn’t quite left Broadway behind.
After wrapping up her run in “Chicago,” she announced she was parting ways with SLOMW. Her husband, Conner, also had an announcement of his own. He planned to star in “11 to Midnight” and explore an acting career of his own.
Whitney was more than happy to support Conner’s dream. She even made a surprise cameo in his first performance, much to fans’ delight.
Whitney Leavitt Joins the ’11 to Midnight’ Cast Onstage
After an exciting run on “Dancing With the Stars,” Whitney Leavitt transitioned to Broadway. She and her DWTS partner, Mark Ballas, broke box office records for their performances as Roxie Hart and Billy Flynn in “Chicago.”
Now, it’s Conner Leavitt’s turn to shine.
He recently made his debut performance in “11 to Midnight.” The show’s official website reveals it “takes place during one unforgettable hour at a New Year’s Eve apartment party—somewhere in the city, where the music’s loud, the lights are soft, and time feels like it’s had a glass of champagne too. Resolutions are made (and some forgotten), feelings pop up out of nowhere, and the future? Well, let’s see what happens this time next year!”
Naturally, Whitney Leavitt was in the audience to cheer on her husband during the opening night. But much to theatergoers’ surprise, she also made a cameo in the show.
“@whitleavitt IN THE HOUSE 🔥” the official “11 to Midnight” Instagram account shared. In the clip, the characters are performing a dance sequence. Suddenly, one character stops the performance and calls Whitney up on stage. She gives Conner a quick kiss before joining in the dance.
Fans loved seeing Whitney support her husband on stage, just as he did with her “Chicago” run.
“The way they keep feeding each other’s high is how loving relationships should be 😍” a viewer kindly noted.
Fans Go Wild For Conner’s Performance
Whitney Leavitt was more than supportive of her husband’s new show. She shared a sweet tribute to Conner on Instagram, raving about his performance.
“Thank you for always giving me my flowers @leavitt.conner but tonight, these flowers are yours 🥹🌼 So incredibly proud of you! THE HOTTEST WIZARD I’VE EVER SEEN 🪄✨” the reality star posted.
“Yay Conner!!! And these shirts!!! 😍it’s too good. Can’t wait to come see you do your thing 🤘🏼❤️🔥” Mark Ballas’ wife BC Jean commented.
“Thank you so much for showing the world what a partnership marriage looks like ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you both,” a kind fan added.
After taking her final bow in “Chicago,” Whitney Leavitt formally announced that she was leaving “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” after the fifth season. She and Conner have bigger dreams to pursue now. And it seems that they’ve fallen in love with New York City and the theater scene.
“Dancing With the Stars” season 35 will premiere on ABC this fall. Production for “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” season 5 is expected to resume soon.
