Frida and Benny attended the 3rd Anniversary performance of ABBA Voyage which included three new songs (Super Trouper, The Name of The Game and Money, Money, Money) but sadly saw the exclusion of When All Is Said And Done.  There was a filmed show the previous Friday 23 May and a technical rehearsal on Monday 26 May, both of which included Take A Chance On Me, although this wasn't included on the 3rd Anniversary show.  It will, apparently, alternate with Super Trouper, given that it is in the same section with the velvet jumpsuits and similar in its presentation - ie. from a distance and no close-ups.  It has been included in ABBA Voyage's promotional video for the updated show.  There appears to be no pattern emerging in the months afterwards so you won't know whether you're going to get Super Trouper or Take A Chance On Me. However, it does appear that on days when there are two shows, you will most likely get the same song for the afternoon and evening performances.  I have heard that it is Benny who decides which song you're going to get on any day - whether that is true or not - who knows?!

Benny and Frida both spoke to the audience from their Dance Booth seating.

There was an after-party where, with Benny on a piano, Elvis Costello sang Like An Angel Passing Through My Room (joined by Frida at the end), Knowing Me, Knowing You and then Guy Garvey sang The Winner Takes It All.

Celebrities in attendance were : Elvis Costello, Guy Garvey, Rob Brydon, Matthew Horne, Richard Osman, Adam Woodyatt (actor who plays Ian Beale in EastEnders), Nicki Chapman (broadcaster), Denise van Outen and Richard Arnold (Good Morning Britain entertainment presenter), Katy B (singer), Mylene Klass (singer, musician and broadcaster), Adam Clayton (bass guitarist in U2), , Eleanor Tomlinson (actress), Tim Minchin, Caroline Hirons (Writer), Marisha Wallace (singer), Robert Rinder aka Judge Rinder and Caitlin Moran (author and broadcaster), Mahalia (singer) and Beka Prance (Beka is a singer-songwriter), Jemma Bolt (DJ, actress, voiceover artist), Justin Mikita (actor) and, Mark Gatiss (actor).

It's been hard trying to decipher what was said, especially by Benny …

Benny:  ……..  See you again, bye bye!

Frida: They want me to say something. The only thing I can say is that I love you very much. Thank you. Thank you for all your support over the years. You know it's hard to imagine that it's 50 years now.  I'm turning 80 this year! I love you, thank you!

Benny - (inaudible)  Two guys coming into the bar  (this must have been a private joke between them!)
