The wife of Broadway star Nick Cordero is asking people across the country to sing and dance for her husband as he fights for his life in the ICU against COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus.

"He just needs to get better but we are ready for him to come home, Cordero's wife, fitness trainer Amanda Kloots, told "Good Morning America." "And he's got a whole lot of living to do."

Cordero, 41, a Tony-nominated actor, initially went to the hospital with what they thought was pneumonia, according to Kloots. He later tested positive for COVID-19 and was put in a medically-induced coma to help his breathing.

When Kloots, who is mom to 10-month-old son named Elvis, got to FaceTime with her husband on Sunday, she sang and played for him Elvis Presleys "Got A Lot O Livin To Do."

When the song played, Cordero's blood pressure rose, so Kloots asked her followers on Instagram to sing and dance to the song themselves to support Cordero.

"I will continue to sing, dance and play this song everyday until you are home Nick Cordero!" Kloots wrote on Instagram.

The illness virtually snuck up on Cordero, the former star of "Bullets Over Broadway," according to Kloots.

"He had extreme fatigue.There was no really other symptoms," she said. "The tipping point happened one morning. We were eating breakfast and I asked Nick to go change Elvis' diaper and I heard a huge thump. I ran into the bedroom and he had fainted."

Kloots, who is in Los Angeles with Elvis, is not allowed to visit Cordero in the hospital. In addition to FaceTiming, Kloots said she sends Cordero a home video daily so that a nurse can show it to him when he wakes up each morning.

"He is struggling," Koots said on Instagram earlier this week of her husband. "Just every minute counts."
