Conner Leavitt will make his Off-Broadway debut in the New York City play "11 to Midnight" starting this week [1].
Leavitt's transition into professional theater follows the rise of his wife, Whitney Leavitt, a star of the series "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." His move to the stage represents a shift from reality television fame to traditional performing arts, leveraging the public profile of his family to attract audiences to a limited theatrical run.
The production is scheduled for a three-week run [3], beginning May 8 and concluding May 27, 2026 [1]. A press release issued May 1, 2026, said the production will feature Leavitt alongside cast members Heather Morris and Nia Sioux [1, 2].
Leavitt was inspired to pursue the role after witnessing his wife's own experience during her Broadway run [2]. The production is hosted at an Off-Broadway theatre in New York City, where the cast will perform the limited engagement [1, 4].
While Leavitt is primarily known to the public through his association with the "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" franchise, this role marks his first professional venture into the New York theater scene [1, 5]. The production's short duration suggests a high-intensity engagement designed to capitalize on the current visibility of the cast members [3].

The casting of a reality television personality in an Off-Broadway production reflects a broader trend of 'celebrity casting' used to ensure ticket sales for limited runs. By pairing Leavitt with established performers like Heather Morris and Nia Sioux, the production bridges the gap between digital influencer audiences and traditional theater-goers.
