Nick Cordero’s Waitress family belts his 2018 song Live Your Life to help raise funds for his medical expenses
As Tony nominee Nick Cordero continues the fight of his life in the hospital, his castmates from the Broadway musical Waitress reunited remotely Sunday to help raise funds for his medical expenses.
Kimiko Glenn, Jessie Mueller, Sara Bareilles, and Keala Settle were among the top talent belting the Canadian 41-year-old’s 2018 song Live Your Life in a four-minute The Show Must Go On Show video.
Many of Nick’s former castmates held up supportive signs with the hashtag #WakeUpNick because he’s been in a medically-induced coma since checking into the ER on March 31.

Cordero – who’s now testing negative for COVID-19 – has been plagued with coronavirus-related complications including having his right leg amputated and having a temporary pacemaker inserted into his heart.
On Monday, the Mob Town star will have his ventilator removed and undergo a tracheostomy, but he remains on a dialysis machine.
Nick’s wife of two years, Amanda Kloots is not allowed inside the ICU, but she visits him daily outside Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
