The Broadway community is in mourning.
Josh Grisetti, who was known for his turn in Something Rotten! and his role on season five of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, died by suicide on July 10, his agent Rick Ferrari confirmed to Entertainment Weekly. He was 44.
“I’m absolutely devastated,” he told the outlet. “That’s all I can say.”
Grisetti’s passing was first announced by his friend and former costar Rob McClure on social media.
“It is with a shattered heart that I share that the brilliant Josh Grisetti took his own life on Friday,” he wrote on Instagram July 12. “I’m not ready to even attempt to understand. My heart is with his wife and family as they try to deal with the reality of this.”
“Some of my all-time favorite memories were by this man’s side,” McClure added. “Maggie and I are beyond heartbroken. Communities around the world will never be the same without him. We love you Josh. Just a cataclysmic loss. Memorial info to come in time.”
Grisetti—who is survived by his wife of six years Mackenzie Grisetti—was also honored by his former It Shoulda Been You costar Sierra Boggess.
