Reinking was well-known as the star of the Broadway show Chicago and a Tony-Winning Choreographer.
Tributes poured in from the Broadway community, including from Tony Yazbeck, who called her an “absolute inspiration”.
Bernadette Peters took to Twitter to say her “heart was broken” and Billy Eichner said “she was one of the most mesmerizing people Ive ever seen on stage. A singular genius. RIP”.
Born in Seattle in 1949, Ann trained as a ballet dancer, but made her debut on stage at a young age with a more bold style of dance.
