Ann Reinking, Tony Winner and Star of Broadway’s ‘Chicago,‘ Dies at 71

News of the actor’s death was first announced Monday on Facebook by dancer and choreographer Christopher Dean, who teaches Reinking’s niece. «The lights on Broadway are forever more dim this morning and there is one less star in the sky,» he wrote. «The good news is that heaven has the very best choreographer on earth now.»

‚You have to have tunnel vision as a dancer to get to where you’re going,» she told The New York Times in 2002, by which time she was choreographing and directing. »But once you get there, you have to save yourself by spreading your horizons. It’s the paradox of this profession. The very thing that makes you very good will destroy you.»
