Watch superstar actor Amanda Seyfried cover Joni Mitchell with a stunning dulcimer performance

The actor adds that she learned many songs from Mitchell’s celebrated fourth album, Blue, during that time. Mitchell played the Appalachian dulcimer on many songs on the record.

Watch Seyfried’s impressive performance of California, which includes vocals, below.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Seyfried spoke about the potential of a third Mamma Mia! film, following the release of the original in 2008 and its sequel Here We Go Again in 2018. The jukebox musical series is based on the titular play and centred around songs written by pop sensations Abba.

“Show me the money!” she jokingly said. “Producer Judy Craymer is always working on it, but Universal still has to release Wicked 2. The first Wicked had to stall when Mamma Mia! 2 was getting made. It’s an either/or situation with musicals. And I have this theory that Universal just knows we’re going to do it, so they’re not in any rush. And it’s just going to cost double.”
