Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas Grace Red Carpet at 2026 Tony Awards with Their Partners

The 2026 Tony Awards brought out some familiar Broadway faces on Sunday evening. Whitney Leavitt, the 33-year-old star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Dancing with the Stars professional Mark Ballas both made appearances at Radio City Musical Hall in New York City on June 7, each arriving with their respective partners in tow.

Leavitt was accompanied by her spouse Conner Leavitt, while Ballas brought along BC Jean. Both performers recently concluded their shared run in the Broadway production of Chicago, marking a significant chapter in their theatrical careers. Conner Leavitt has also recently finished performing in the off-Broadway limited engagement of 11 to Midnight.

The evening proved particularly significant for Leavitt, who will take part in a special performance celebrating Chicago's 30 years on stage. Sharing the spotlight with her will be Queen Latifah, Pink, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alex Newell, Adrienne Warren, Cedric the Entertainer, Julianne Hough, and Dylan Mulvaney.

For her appearance on the carpet, Leavitt opted for an elegant Marchesa gown, complemented by Fred Leighton jewelry.

Ballas has his sights set on new projects following his Broadway engagement. He will join the cast of Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro, where he'll work alongside his mother Shirley Ballas and host Robert Irwin to identify the next generation of professional dancers for the competition series. The program is slated to premiere on July 13 at 8pm ET/PT on ABC, with episodes available on Hulu the following day.

Pink hosted the 2026 Tony Awards, which aired live on CBS at 8pm ET and streamed on Paramount+.
