Meryl Streep and Martin Short were recently spotted enjoying a night out on Broadway together. The veteran actors, aged 73 and 74 respectively, attended a performance of Merrily We Roll Along at the Hudson Theatre. A fan in the audience noticed them sitting together and later captured a video of Streep praising the show and expressing her delight.
Following the performance, Streep and Short joined the cast on stage to offer their congratulations. They also posed for a photo with the entire cast, where Short even broke into song, singing a tune from the musical. The video of this heartwarming moment was shared on social media by the cast members, who were clearly thrilled by the unexpected visit from the Hollywood icons.
The outing between Streep and Short sparked rumors of a romantic involvement, despite both actors denying any such relationship. Their representatives have reiterated that they are simply close friends. This speculation arose after news of Streep's separation from her husband of 45 years surfaced.
Streep and Short's Broadway rendezvous occurred amidst their return to filming the popular Hulu series, Only Murders in the Building, alongside Steve Martin and Selena Gomez. The upcoming season will see the characters venture to Los Angeles before returning to their familiar setting in New York City.
Streep's return to the show was confirmed by 20th Television president Karey Burke, who mentioned that the acclaimed actress thoroughly enjoyed her time working on the previous season. The new season will also feature a star-studded lineup, including Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Kumail Nanjiani.
