Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2025

Well, she got her wish. Leavitt was just announced as the new Roxie in Chicago on Broadway. Not the first DWTS alum to do that show. Probably not the last.

But Roxie is supposed to be a likeable character played by a likeable star.

That dance was so cute with their son.

It was so great to include Chanukah. This has been such a wonderful special.

Aw, I missed it. I had to work. I think my DVR recorded it. I'll have to take a look.

But Roxie is supposed to be a likeable character played by a likeable star.

The role has the advantage of being not overly vocally demanding, so it's an easy (well, easier - you couldn't put Michelle Yeoh in the role given her proven lack of vocals in Wicked; but if someone can carry a tune they can survive it) stunt cast.

But yeah...usually someone likeable.
