Broadway and Hollywood Communities Remember Late Actor Nick Cordero

Publish date: 2022-06-30

After more than three months of posts chronicling his struggle with devastating COVID-19 complications, former Broadway dancer and trainer Amanda Kloots wrote on Instagram that her husband, actor Nick Cordero, had died Sunday morning. “Nick was such a bright light,” she wrote. “He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband.” On Sunday evening, members of the New York theater community and Cordero’s fellow actors remembered the Tony Award-nominated theater star, who most recently appeared in Rock of Ages in Los Angeles, a show which he also appeared in on Broadway in 2012.

“Devastating,” tweeted Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. “What a loss, what a light. Whole heart with Amanda and his family tonight.” Wrote James M. Inglehart, Broadway’s original Aladdin Genie and Hamilton performer, “You were a wonderful man. A wonderful husband. The happiest dad I knew. A good friend to me. My love & prayers go out to your family,” among many other remembrances. Cordero is survived by his wife and son, Elvis Eduardo.

Nick Cordero passed at 11:40am today with his mother and wife by his side. I can honesty tell you I have never met a kinder human being. Don’t believe that Covid only claims the elderly and infirm.
I am so grateful for the time we had. “We’ll catch up some other time.” pic.twitter.com/Oq2a8QsIyH

Incredibly sad news. Can we please do what we need to do as a country to fight this virus together? It doesn’t care how healthy you are. It doesn’t care if you want to go to Fire Island. It doesn’t care if you are tired of wearing a mask. Reign. It. In. https://t.co/sae9sLQYv1

Truly awful, heartbreaking news. Gone much too soon. My sympathies are with his immediate family, especially his wife and one-year-old boy. #RIPNickCordero 💔 https://t.co/NMlKrHYqWP
