Here she goes again: Cher back on screen for Mamma Mia 2
CHeR is preparing to be a ‘dancing queen’ in the follow up to the Abba movie musical Mamma Mia!
The 71-year- old singer and Oscar-winning actress is in London rehearsing choreography sequences for the film Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
She will appear in two song and dance sequences in the follow up to the 2008 Mamma Mia! movie, the Daily Mail can reveal.
It starred Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper and Christine Baranski, all of whom are in the new film. Lily James is also in the new film as the younger version of Donna, Miss Streep’s character. The cast has been shooting on location in Croatia but will join Cher on the dance floor at Shepperton Studios, in Surrey, later this week.
Cher’s role and names of the Abba numbers she will sing are being kept under wraps. A film executive explained: ‘Cher’s our secret weapon. It’ll spoil the fun if we give anything away.’
Cher, who won her best actress Oscar for Moonstruck in 1988, has not been in front of film cameras for several years, but she has been busy touring and collaborating on developing a Broadway musical based on her life and career.
