“It is with a shattered heart that I share that the brilliant Josh Grisetti took his own life on Friday,” wrote McClure, who starred alongside Grisetti in Something Rotten! “Some of my all-time favorite memories were by this man’s side, playing his brother onstage for years.” The duo played Nigel and Nick Bottom in the Broadway and traveling productions of the musical.
Grisetti was also on Broadway in 2015 as Marty Kaufman in It Shoulda Been You.
