Lucy instead opted to wear a black and white dress for the special occasion in the city earlier this week. She seemed to have paired the dress with some black stilettos, which were briefly visible as she graced the red carpet at the theatre.
The father and daughter posed together on the red carpet at the event. Lucy's mother Rhea Perlman, 75 - whose acting credits include films like Barbie (2023), and who starred alongside Danny in Matilda (1996) - was also in attendance and posed for a photo with the castmembers.

But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he's forced to reckon with what's trash, what's treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two."
Lucy has followed in her parents' footsteps by becoming an actor herself. Her credits include roles alongside her father in films such as Dumbo (2019) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), as well as having appeared in Netflix's Blonde (2022).
