Julia Roberts Surprises Fans at 'Pretty Woman: The Musical'

Julia Roberts Honors Garry Marshall in Style

Let me tell you something amazing. On Thursday, August 2, Julia Roberts was at a very special performance of Pretty Woman: The Musical on Broadway in New York City. The event was a heartfelt tribute to the life of Garry Marshall, the director of the iconic movie Pretty Woman. Garry, who we lost in 2016 due to pneumonia, was celebrated in style. Julia decided to pay her respects in a unique way by wearing a Laverne & Shirley t-shirt, a nod to the beloved '70s series that Garry also helped create. It was a touching gesture that reminded everyone of the deep connection between the actress and the late filmmaker.

In a past chat with Entertainment Tonight, Julia opened up about the profound impact Garry had on her life and career. She expressed immense gratitude for everything he taught her. "There's just no way to fully express what my relationship with Garry Marshall has meant to me," she said. "He gave me the confidence to be funny, to be goofy, and to explore that creative side of myself. Whenever Garry asked me to do something, I never hesitated. His trust in me was everything." Julia’s words paint a vivid picture of the bond they shared and the influence Garry had on her journey in Hollywood.

    A Moment of Reflection Amidst the Chaos

    At the Pretty Woman event, Julia looked stunning, but let's be honest, the moment was intense. When she arrived, the paparazzi descended on her like a swarm of bees. The actress reportedly asked the photographers for some space, yelling, "Too close, guys, too close," according to Entertainment Tonight. But as the night went on, Julia seemed to relax and enjoy the experience more. She joined Garry’s close friends and family for some red carpet photos, which must have been a comforting moment amidst the chaos.

    Garry’s widow, Barbara Marshall, and their family were also present at the event. They took a few photos with Julia before heading inside to watch the musical. Barbara spoke to Entertainment Tonight and shared her thoughts on what Garry would have thought of Julia being there. "He would have been so thrilled," Barbara said with a smile. "We're sitting with her to see what she thinks when she sees all the singing and dancing. It's such a beautiful tribute to him." It's clear that Garry's legacy lives on through the people he touched and the art he inspired.
