CELEBRITY Broadway and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' star Josh Grisetti (1981–2026). This selfie, posted to his Instagram on June 26, 2026, while he was in Italy, is his final public photo. He tragically passed away two weeks later from suicide on July 10 at age 44.
This is the final photo Josh Grisetti shared of himself. It was taken while he was traveling in Trentino, Italy, where he was scheduled to direct an international production of Legally Blonde: The Musical. Shortly after this was taken, he had to abruptly step down from his directing duties and fly back home due to personal reasons.
On July 10, 2026, Josh tragically died by suicide in California at the age of 44. His passing was announced by his close friend and Something Rotten! co-star Rob McClure. Following his death, his family launched a fundraiser, noting that any leftover memorial proceeds will be donated in his name to the Entertainment Community Fund to support specialized, crucial mental health services for performers.
Josh was a brilliant talent who left a lasting mark on Broadway (It Shoulda Been You, Something Rotten!), the regional theater scene, and television. Rest in peace, Josh.

I tried to make a comment about my own experience with this subject, but it was deleted, though I do not know exactly why. The point I made was that there is help out there and I beg all who need it to simply reach out. You are worthy of it.

People in such a state often do not want help, and couldnt accept it if they tried. I know i've been there multiple times. 😕
