Broadway actor Nick Cordero wakes up from medically induced coma

We haven’t been covering the story of Broadway actor Nick Cordero’s coronavirus battle here at The A.V. Club, both because we don’t generally cover Broadway news and because it’s very, very sad, but here’s some rare (relatively) good news: Cordero has woken up from the medically induced coma that doctors put him due to the severity of the complications that arose after he was diagnosed with the coronavirus. Cordero, who has appeared onstage in Waitress and Rock Of Ages, was diagnosed with the virus at the end of March and was initially responding to treatment, but he was eventually put on a ventilator. In April, a problem with his blood flow forced doctors to amputate one of his legs, and his wife, fellow actor Amanda Kloots, has regularly provided updates on his condition on Instagram.
