Ann Reinking dead: Broadway

The Tony Award-winning legend’s death was first announced on Monday in a Facebook post by dancer and fellow choreographer Christopher Dean, who teaches Reinking’s niece.

He wrote a touching tribute to his friend, who also credited her dancing ability.

“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.”
