In addition to returning to the role of Roxie, playing opposite Bebe Neuwirth, Reinking also took over the choreography, bringing her unmatched knowledge of Fosse’s style to the production. The revival started out as a limited-run, bare-bones production at City Center, part of the “Encores” series. But the opening-night reviews were ecstatic, the show quickly sold out, and then a few months later, it transferred to Broadway, where it won six Tony Awards, including one for Reinking’s choreography. That revival continued to run on Broadway until the coronavirus pandemic shut down the Great White Way earlier this year.
