Warning: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Netflix’s The Merry Gentlemen!
With dancing at the center of the Netflix film,The Merry Gentlemenincorporates a wide range of lesser-known holiday songs that will keep audiences entertained from start to finish. The holiday rom-com follows a professional Broadway dancer named Ashley who puts together a male dance revue to raise money to save her parents’ bar, The Rhythm Room. Like most holiday movies,The Merry Gentlemenis packed with music to establish the cheery mood.
Rather than incorporating the traditional Christmas music that plays on the radio every year, theChad Michael Murray movieincludes a mix of holiday-themed hip-hop, country music, and ballads that aren’t well known. Each song perfectly shapes the scene in which it appears, helping create an entertaining Netflix movie for adults.
