Nick, my sweet friend, we grew up together in Hamilton, onstage & off. Doing shows, getting into trouble. Then grew together again because of NYC, & & our Broadway community. You will NEVER be forgotten. You will be loved forever. I feel numb.

I'm lucky enough to have never missed a Nick Cordero bway role. I got to see him as Dennis, Cheech, Earl, and Sonny, and I always loved seeing him on stage. For such gruff parts, he was in reality a sweet man, well-loved by his colleagues & certainly by his fam. Sad to hear. RIP.
