Super Trouper Meryl Streep Will Star in Mamma Mia!
She was
hilarious as a washed-up Broadway diva in Death Becomes Her and
was poignant singing country songs in Prairie Home Companion and
Postcards from the Edge, but now Meryl Streep will sink
her teeth into ABBA with the upcoming screen version of the hit stage
musical Mamma Mia!
Streep
stars as an ex-bohemian mom who comes face-to-face with three old
boyfriends - one of whom now identifies as gay - when her daughter
decides she wants to meet her real dad before she gets married.
The Devil Wears Prada star has a busy schedule, with Lions for
Lambs (opposite Robert Redford and Tom Cruise) and
Rendition (co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese
Witherspoon) on the horizon.
No start date announced yet, but Streep has probably already memorized
the lyrics to "Dancing Queen."
