The tribute, which is free to watch via Broadway On Demand at 7 p.m. EDT, will feature appearances from some of Cordero’s former castmates, as well as commentary from his friends and family and photos and videos documenting his life and impact.
Born in Hamilton, Ont., Cordero began his career performing in Toronto and later on cruise ships before moving to the U.S. in 2007.
His breakout role came in 2014 as Cheech in Bullets Over Broadway, a role that earned him a Tony Award nomination.
