Additional information

On the last night of the run of Mamma Mia! at The Princes Theatre, Melbourne, Catherine Johnson (writer) introduced a "message from our sponsors" after paying tribute to all involved in the show.

On the large white moon that comes down from the ceiling at the end of the show, a message from Benny and Björn was played to the audience. Björn stood next to Benny who was seated at the piano. Bjorn said something along these lines of:-

"It's always difficult saying good-bye at the end of a long-running show, and we're so proud of you all in Melbourne. It's been a wonderful four years; and who knows .... (and then they started to sing the old Vera Lynn song), "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when; but I know we'll meet again, some sunny day ..."

Benny rounded it off with the closing riff of Thank You For The Music.
