Tributes to the late star poured out on social media from fellow Broadway stars, including Steve Kazee and Patti Murin.

“I will never forget our nights at Angus and all the s— you taught me. You were kinder to me than you ever had to be and I am so grateful for the time we spent together. An amazing man. Gone far too soon. Love you, Michael. RIP,” Kazee, 47, said.

Patti Murin, 42, shared a pair of snapshots in tribute to McGrath. “Absolutely devastated to wake up this morning and hear that Michael McGrath has passed away,” Murin wrote.

“Our time at Little Shop at the MUNY was short, but working with him was like packing 20 years worth of joy into a few short weeks. Always smiling, always asking about my family, always in dad mode, even to us fully grown adults.”

“Here he’s holding Lorelai so I could do a radio interview, and I remember saying, ‘This baby has no idea how lucky she is!’ as he crooned her a lullaby,” the actress and singer added.

“Anyone who has ever exchanged so much as a hello with Michael is incredibly fortunate, and I can’t believe I’ll never be able to see him smile again.

“My heart and thoughts and love are with his family, Toni and Katie, who he loved more than anything in the world. #MichaelMcGrath,” Patti Murin concluded her heartfelt tribute.

“What a loss,” Jesse Tyler Ferguson wrote in a comment on Kazee’s post.
