Has anyone heard about any new projects involving Ann Reinking? I can't find any websites pertaining to her, and I was wondering what her next project is....

I don't know anything official, but I think I've heard that she's moved out west for her health or something. Hopefully she'll be back to do something new soon.

You see how valuable my opinion is....

I'm pretty sure she's semi-retired, but I think she still comes in from time to time to train new CHICAGO cast members.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

She just did, or is about to do, a production of "A Chorus Line" out in LA playing Cassie, as memory serves.

I heard that she moved to Arizona. She does projects from time to time, but I think her primary focus is her family right now.

re: her as Cassie in ACL

Oh, yeah, she is doing that! Someone I know got tickets for when she's doing the part.

Sweet.

I love Ann Reinking, but isn't she a little old to be playing Cassie? She's almost 60 (born 1949)! She was fabulous in the role when she replaced Donna McKechnie back in 1977, but a 58 year old Cassie scares me. Are they casting the rest of the line with 40 year olds?

Honestly, she was almost too old for Cassie in the 70s....(She just seems like she's been old forever). However, if she can pull it off, more power to her.

Is she involved in the Broadway Theater Project in Tampa anymore? I know tons of Kids who went to that and learned a lot.


Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Incidentally, how old are YOU, husk?

Neverandy, I don't think she's involved with Broadway Theatre Project anymore. If she is, she's a silent partner. Here's the website...

Well Debra McWaters is still on the faculty and she is one of Anne's best friends so Anne must have some kind of involvement.
