Josh Grisetti, Who Made Us Smile in Maisel and Broadway, Gone Too Soon at 44
- A sad goodbye to a bright Broadway star.
- Remembering his amazing roles, including in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
- How the theater world is feeling right now.
We just saw the news. And our hearts just sank.
Josh Grisetti, a name you might know from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, has passed away. He was only 44. Way too young, right?
Many will remember him as the talented actor who popped up in season five of Mrs. Maisel. His scenes had a particular, vibrant aesthetic. They really brought that show’s energy to life.
But Josh was also a huge deal on Broadway. He starred in the hit show, Something Rotten! Audiences loved him. He had such a magnetic presence on stage.
The news reports say he died by suicide on July 10. It’s incredibly sad to hear. A real shock for everyone.
The Broadway community is deep in mourning. You can almost feel the quiet sadness hanging over the theater district. It’s a somber, grey kind of feeling today.
This kind of news always reminds us of other beloved figures we’ve lost too soon. We were just talking about Sam Neill, our Jurassic Park hero, who passed at 78. Did you know he had a secret winery? We explored that here: Sad News: Sam Neill, Our Jurassic Park Hero, Dies at 78. What About His Secret Winery?
Josh was such a talent. Building a remarkable career, full of unforgettable performances. It makes you think about all the amazing stories being told, whether on stage or screen. Like when we shared news about The Special One’s Netflix Doc is Coming! It’s all about the stories people create.
Our Take
It’s just heartbreaking. To lose someone so young, with so much talent and potential. It’s a real blow to the world of entertainment.
We’re sending all our thoughts to his family, friends, and everyone in the Broadway family. Please, remember to check in on each other. Life is fragile. Be kind.
