The producers and Marshall's family feted the late filmmaker, who directed the 1990 movie starring Roberts and Richard Gere, after the show by placing a plaque in his old theatre seat.
"28 years ago, the world fell in love with the brilliant #JuliaRoberts," a message on the Broadway show's Twitter page read. "Tonight, alongside Barbara Marshall, she honors the legacy of #GarryMarshall - the director who impacted so many with his warmth and vision!".
After the show, Roberts posed for pictures with Marshall's wife Barbara, son Scott, daughter Kathleen, and Pretty Woman: The Musical stars Samantha Barks and Andy Karl.
"Ok so.... Julia Roberts came to watch us in @PrettyWoman tonight...and life will never be the same again!!!," Les Miserables actress Barks wrote.
The stageshow officially opens later this month.
