Nick Cordero
1978 - 2020
Broadway actor Nick Cordero died yesterday at the age of 41. He was a victim of COVID19, brought on by the coronavirus. His death is neither more nor less tragic than any of the other over 120,000 American deaths brought on by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, but it is a more public one, and, as such, it serves as a reminder of how deadly and sad this disease is.
I never saw Cordero perform, and, in all honesty, I'm not sure if had ever even heard of him prior to the news breaking in March that he had contracted COVID19. He performed most notably in three Broadway shows of some renown - "Waitress", "A Bronx Tale", and "Bullets Over Broadway", for which he received a Tony nomination.
He leaves a wife of two years and a one year old daughter.
RIP Nick Cordero
Here is Cordero singing "One Of The Great Ones", perhaps the signature song from "A Bronx Tale."
