Filling the roles of Young Rosie and Young Tanya are Alexa Davies (A Brilliant Young Mind) and Jessica Keenan Wynn (Broadway's Be­autiful). Young Sam will be played by Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), while Young Bill is Josh Dylan (Allied) and Young Harry is Hugh Skinner (Kill Your Friends).

** Critics Reviews for Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! **

• “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, for all its faults, has a musty charm and even, for reasons that involve Meryl Streep, a hint of heartbreak.” – Anthony Lane , New Yorker
• “Breathe a sigh of relief; this even-more bizarre sequel to an already bizarre original (based on the 1999 jukebox musical) is going to be ridiculous, of course. But fun, too.” –

Kate Taylor , Globe and Mail

• “This sequel plays like a familiar song covered by a lesser artist, but the good parts are still intact. If you're in the mood for a dance, take the chance.” – Adam Graham , Detroit News
• “It is a film that presents a good relationship on the link between mothers and daughters and preserves their sympathy in each character, taking into account that the new ones also make them more empathetic with the characters…” – Israel Acosta Aroche , Konexión
