In 2002, Fosse, featuring Reinking and Ben Vereen, was aired as part of the Great Performances series on PBS television. A London production opened at the West End Prince of Wales Theatre on February 8, 2000 and closed January 6, 2001.

'The one good thing about dance is that if you are truly yourself, then it's all good,' Ann Reinking said recently in an ABC News interview. This goes especially for the dancers that she teaches these days, who have been diagnosed with Marfans Syndrome. As for those who Reinking choreographs, she seems as inspired by them as they are by her. 'The human spirit is the greatest thing on earth,' she says of her experiences. Reinking produced a documentary on the subject in 2009. View a clip from the documentary, 'In My Hands,' below.
