Twenty-two of ABBA's biggest hits are woven throughout the story, written by Catherine Johnson.

NEWS:

The Australasian tour of MAMMA MIA! ended on 9 June 2005, at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne. A special video message from Björn and Benny was played during the curtain calls: "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 sang from the Vera Lynn World War II classic "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when; but I know we'll meet again, some sunny day ...". Thanks to Chris Patrick/ABBAMAIL

The MAMMA MIA! website also features a farewell message.
