Nick Cordero to have a live album released in his honour

A live album recording of a cabaret show from late Hamilton-born Broadway actor Nick Cordero will hit shelves in September.

Broadway Records will release “Nick Cordero: Live Your Life” on Sept. 17, which would have been Cordero’s 42nd birthday.

Cordero died earlier this month after spending three months in a Los Angeles hospital with complications from COVID-19.

His upcoming posthumous album is named after his song “Live Your Life.”

The song became a hit after his wife Amanda Kloots rallied social media to play it everyday at 6 p.m. while he was in the hospital.

The album captures Cordero’s cabaret performance in April 2019 at the Broadway supper club Feinstein’s/54 Below.

Exciting news! Thanks to our friend @michaeljmoritz -Nick’s one man show he created last April @54below is being released by @bwayrecords with presale starting today. ⠀ Nick would be absolutely thrilled to hear this news. I’ve never seen my husband work so hard on something and be so nervous to perform. I was so proud of him and absolutely loved watching him onstage these two nights. He created this show from scratch, choosing songs to tell a story… his story. There’s some Broadway tunes with fun guest stars, some pop, standards, a little Latin and of course the encore is Live Your Life. ⠀ The album release date will be on Nicks 42nd birthday, September 17, 2020.
