A few ticketholders were turned away at „Pretty Woman“ on Broadway for a special tribute show to the movie’s director, Garry Marshall. Julia Roberts was in the audience.<\/b>
\nJulia Roberts was greeted by applause at a special performance of Broadway\u2019s new musical \u201cPretty Woman\u201d Thursday at the Nederlander Theatre.
But while she flashed her famous smile, a group of theater fans raged outside after buying tickets and not being able to get in.
A source tells us there was a group of women outside the theater during intermission for the special show \u2014 which started earlier than the normal schedule and functioned as a tribute to the director of the original 1990 movie version, Garry Marshall \u2014 getting into a heated discussion with a manager. \u201cThey were pissed because their tickets said 8 p.m., but the show started at 6:30 p.m.,\u201d says a spy.
\u201cA woman was complaining they came all the way from Jersey. The guy was super apologetic and shoving merchandise in their hands, but they were just like, \u2018We don\u2019t want a hat, we want to see the show!\u2019 He promised they\u2019d get tickets.\u201d
A rep for the show explains: \u201cThey purchased early on. When it was determined the show was going to have a special tribute, the curtain time was changed to make it a more special event. Ticketmaster had communicated to everyone the curtain time had changed. Everyone else had gotten the message. These people are being taken care of.\u201d
Marshall\u2019s wife, Barbara, and two of his kids took the stage after the show, with son Scott talking about his dad\u2019s dreams of Broadway.
\u201cHe was on Broadway in 1980, his first shot,\u201d Scott told the crowd, referring to Garry\u2019s short-lived play \u201cThe Roast.\u201d \u201cHe opened on a Friday and closed on a Sunday. He was so heartbroken, he went out to the marquee to watch them take his name down, and the next show they were putting up there was \u2018Cats.\u2019 He said, \u2018Who wants to see a show about kitty cats! It\u2019ll never last!\u2019 \u201d
A seat in the back row was dedicated to the late director, who died in 2016.
Garry also wrote the book for the musical.<\/p>\n
