Whitney Leavitt is celebrating her recently-accomplished Chicago box office milestone in a big way! The tattoo comes after she and her husband, Conner Leavitt, decided she would get a tattoo if she broke the ticket sale record in Chicago in a TikTok posted last week. After the news was announced, Leavitt fulfilled her promise.
“Holding myself accountable,” she posted, showing herself getting the tattoo. “Still can’t believe we broke [the Chicago the Musical] highest grossing ticket sale record! What makes this moment even more special is Conner hand drew the design.”
Whitney’s initial run has been the highest grossing 6-week span in the show’s history where this past week she broke the all-time highest gross in the show’s 29-year history.
For the week ending March 15, 2026, Chicago grossed weekly ticket sales of $1,457,930.77, beating a 2023 holiday week record gross of $1,452,008.50 (week ending December 31, 2023).
The prior weekly gross record in December 2023 was set during a 9-performance holiday week. For this week ending March 15 it was an 8-performance week. For Whitney’s first 6-weeks in Chicago the show has grossed $8,049,526.31 for weeks ending February 8-March 15, 2026. Whitney averaged $1,341,587.72 a week.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
