Santa’s sleigh is arriving early this year with Britt Robertson and Chad Michael Murray starring in The Merry Gentlemen, a new holiday rom-com.
Directed by Peter Sullivan and penned by Marla Sokoloff, this film is about a musical revue aiming to save Christmas. You’ll be able to enjoy this festive flick soon, so grab some hot cocoa while you wait.
What’s The Merry Gentlemen about?
A former Broadway dancer returns home to help save her parents’ small-town theater by putting on an all-male Christmas show.
“My character, Ashley, has been a successful Broadway dancer for her entire adult career. She returns to her hometown and is faced with figuring out what she wants for her future, while also reinventing her parents’ local business,” says Robertson. She loves heartwarming stories and holiday movies. “I love being able to surround myself with friends and family, decorate a Christmas tree, cook fresh baked goods, and celebrate our lives together,” she adds. “Being able to bring my favorite people together to watch a holiday movie helps me to appreciate the most important things in life.”
Chad Michael Murray describes his character, Luke, as kind, confident, and slightly sarcastic. He works as a contractor helping out at a bar called the Rhythm Room and gets pushed out of his comfort zone. “Holiday movies bring so many of us the peace and calm we love to enjoy over the holidays. These films bring us together and give us adventures to enjoy as a family,” he shares.
Marla Sokoloff, who also stars in the movie, says, “I’m my best self during Christmastime. Watching holiday movies with my family … nothing makes me happier.”
Sokoloff is especially excited about the costumes. “The costumes are going to be the highlight for me,” she says. “So many fun themes and moments. I can’t wait to see it all come together!”
