“Mormon Wives” Star Conner Leavitt Joins Cast of “11 to Midnight” After Being Inspired by Wife Whitney’s Broadway Run (Exclusive)

Conner Leavitt is set to make his debut on the New York stage, following closely in the footsteps of his wife, Whitney. The content creator and reality television star is joining the cast of the off-Broadway production “11 to Midnight,” a show that delves into complex relationships as the countdown to New Year’s Eve begins. Leavitt’s engagement will last for a limited three weeks, starting on May 8 and concluding on May 27.

Expressing his enthusiasm for this new venture, Leavitt stated, “I’m so grateful for the opportunity to join the cast of 11 to Midnight and be a part of such a special, unique theatre experience here in New York.” He credits his wife, currently performing as Roxie Hart in the acclaimed Broadway production of “Chicago,” as a significant influence in his pursuit of a career in theatre. Leavitt describes Whitney as a “continuous inspiration,” emphasising how her experience on stage has helped ignite his own passion for the performing arts.

The couple, along with their three young children, recently relocated to New York City to support Whitney’s record-setting run in “Chicago,” which has enjoyed an extension due to overwhelming ticket sales. Whitney has also made headlines for her collaboration with her “Dancing with the Stars” partner, Mark Ballas, for a limited engagement in the Broadway show.

Now, it is Conner’s turn to step into the spotlight. He expressed eagerness to immerse himself in the choreography created by the duo Cost n’ Mayor, with whom he aims to refine his dancing skills. Leavitt’s professional background began in finance, having worked at a hedge fund before pivoting to content creation. He gained recognition as an “Instagram Husband,” frequently spotlighting his wife’s achievements and showcasing his dance skills and fashion choices inspired by Whitney’s career.

Leavitt’s upcoming performances in “11 to Midnight” promise to be a thrilling experience, and he will join an ensemble cast that has recently welcomed two notable additions, Heather Morris and Nia Sioux. With both parents making their mark on the New York City stage, their children now have exciting stories to share. Whitney shared with PEOPLE that the family has embraced New York life wholeheartedly, revealing, “They’ll come backstage every once in a while to say hi… They think it’s the coolest thing.”

“11 to Midnight” is co-created by the choreographic duo Austin and Marideth Telenko and focuses on the dynamics among friends and couples during the final moments leading to the New Year. The production has seen shifts in its lineup; Broadway performer JJ Niemann was initially slated to join the cast but has since pulled out due to logistical challenges within the industry. Niemann addressed the situation on social media, expressing his disappointment and encouraging patrons to continue supporting the existing cast.

The show commenced its run on January 28, 2026, with an official opening on February 11 at the Orpheum Theatre. The Telenko duo is making their theatrical debuts in this production, which has proven to be a notable addition to the New York theatre scene and has extended its run until May 31.

With both Whitney and Conner Leavitt now gracing the New York stage, audiences are eager to witness their individual talents. Conner’s journey into theatre is a testament to the support and inspiration he draws from his wife’s successful career. As he prepares for his first performance, the anticipation builds, promising an eventful three weeks for the Leavitt family and the theatre community alike.
