Amanda Seyfried has explained how her experience on The Testament of Ann Lee differed to her previous musical roles.
Speaking to The Independent at the London premiere, the 40-year-old, who plays the titular founder of the quaker movement, said that dance and song were intrinsic to her character’s “survival”.
She explained that the religious group would spend hours every day singing and dancing, which made performing in the film feel more organic.
“It’s less like a jukebox musical, like Mamma Mia, where they kind of just live in a fantasy land and burst out singing before we start talking again,” said Seyfried, who has starred in Les Miserables and the Mamma Mia franchise.
