LILY JAMES (DONNA)

Meryl Streep minus four decades? Step forward Lily, star of recent hit The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society and 2015’s Cinderella. Lily loves the MM! stage musical.

JESSICA KEENAN WYNN (TANYA)

“She’s the sassiest of the three Dynamos,” says Jessica, who plays young Tanya. The actress is currently on Broadway in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

ALEXA DAVIES (ROSIE)

To embody the young Julie Walters, the film has cast an actress who is best known for her TV work, such as Raised By Wolves and

Detectoris­ts. She’s upcoming in E4 show Dead Pixels.

JEREMY IRVINE (SAM)

Playing the young version of Pierce Brosnan, Jeremy – who’s been in War Horse and Great Expectatio­ns – can be sure of one thing: his singing can’t be worse than the older actor’s.

JOSH DYLAN (BILL)

“Bill is adventurou­s and a free spirit,” says Josh – attributes also portrayed by Stellan Skarsgård. “There’s a wonderful moment when he meets Donna,” says producer Judy Craymer.

HUGH SKINNER (HARRY)

It’s sweet, loveably dopey Will from W1A! “There is something about him that is so Colin Firth,” notes Craymer, and we agree. Hugh was also in Poldark and the movie Hampstead.
