Broadway actor, author, and theater professor at California State University, Fullerton, Josh Grisetti died on July 10 at age 44. His death was confirmed through emotional Instagram posts from friends and former co-stars Rob McClure and Sierra Boggess, who shared that Grisetti died by suicide. He is survived by his wife of six years, Mackenzie Grisetti.
Grisetti built a celebrated stage career, earning the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Debut Performance for his 2008 Off-Broadway role in Enter Laughing, along with nominations from the Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama League. His planned Broadway debut in a revival of Neil Simon's Broadway Bound was canceled before opening due to weak ticket sales for its companion show, but he went on to originate a lead role in It Shoulda Been You and later starred in Something Rotten!
