'It was something that I’d never done. I said, "Oh, this scares the crap out of me. I’ve got to do this,"' he revealed. 'I made a bunch of phone calls and said, "Let’s get in as much rehearsal time as possible."'
The extensive practice sessions fostered a strong camaraderie among the cast of The Merry Gentlemen.
Murray noted, 'If you’re going to do it, you’ve got to go all in,' emphasizing that each member contributed their unique talents to the film while supporting one another.
'When I read the script, I was like, "This is my kind of Christmas movie!"' Robertson told Tudum. 'I didn’t even have to do any of the burlesque. I get to just watch a bunch of very talented dudes do it.'
