Hello all,
Great news re the Q&A before the show on May 27th. Anyone else going? What would you ask them?

I'm not sure what the Q&A exactly encompasses. I imagine an interviewer will be on stage with them having the Q&A, not audience members asking questions. Maybe a bit like this one.
Unfortunately Agnetha & Frida are not involved, yet again. For once, I would like to hear what they have to say.

Yes I’m not sure of the format of the Q&A either, it would be appreciated if audience members were permitted to ask questions so one can only hope.
I’d also love Agnetha and Frida to be part of it. There’s always a chance Frida will turn up, she does love the show. Whatever happens it will be a very special evening indeed.

I can imagine that the fans, who have the tickets to the 2nd anniversary concert, will be given an opportunity to submit their question(s) via e-mail or through a special link and selected ones will be presented to B&B to answer. It would hardly be possible to ask questions directly at the Arena. I'm really looking forward to it. I bought a ticket for the 2nd anniversary concert and for the afternoon performance the day before, so I'll make the most of my visit this time 🙂
I would also like to see A&F there but I think they would not announce their attendance officially - it would cause a havoc among fans. So we may yet be pleasantly surprised...

Yes, I’m expecting a link from the Voyage Visitors Hub to be sent to ticket holders. I’m imagining the majority of the questions would be in a similar vein so hopefully all the most interesting questions will be answered. Personally I’d like an answer to what we can expect re changes to the Voyage set list. It would be a great opportunity for B&B to confirm the rumours and give the fans a heads up on any major shake up. Roll on May!

Is anyone going to this next Monday and can report back to us? Work prevents me attending this time.

I will be there all going well, hope I'll remember the key points to report back! They seem to be very strict on filming of this Q&A (handing out patches to cover phone cameras, etc.) so will need to rely on my memory only!

I will write a piece on it for the Fan Club magazine, so you will be able to read something there. I will need to write it up on Tuesday morning, as the deadline for the June edition is now very close.

Does anyone know what time this is as my tickets say 19.45. The Q & A tickets doesn't have times or a barcode? Any help. Cheers Phil.

The Q & A starts at 18:30:
"This event includes entry to a special Q&A with Benny and Björn before the concert, and therefore timings vary from other ABBA Voyage performances. Please take a minute to read the information below to make your experience easy and enjoyable.
Date: Monday 27th May
Gates Open: 17:00
Q&A Starts: 18:30
Concert Starts: 19:45
There will be a short break between the Q&A and concert start time."
I received a link via e-mail, where I could submit my question.

Are you going to give us a preview of what your question is? 😉

Can anyone go to the Q and A on Monday, if you buy a ticket to the 19:45 show? Or do you need special tickets to the Q and A? I'm a longtime big fan but I've just arrived in London and didn't know about this until today.

If people here have submitted questions, I'd love if they could be shared. I'm curious about what people asked. Fingers crossed that B&B take a few interesting questions on the night.

Your Ticketmaster booking on the app shows a separate ticket to the Q&A with a face value of £0.00. I hope you manage to get a ticket. Good luck.

I’ll be there. Will jot down any pertinent info in the break between the Q&A and the show itself.

Two very similar threads have been merged.

I can surely share my question, but I actually doubt it will be presented to Björn and Benny as it's not about ABBA.
Lars Rudolfsson revealed some time ago that the final rehearsals for Kristina Från Duvemåla were extensively filmed and recorded in 1995 ad there were hours of footage available. Then there is the SVT footage from the 1996 Minnessota concerts.
I asked if they would consider releasing anything of this maybe for the 30th anniersary of the premiere next year. I would love to see the original cast in in original stage version. Not to mention there must be some previously unheard stuff, as the musical was originally reportedly almost 5 hrs long.

By the way, I'm already on the first stage of my journey to London. See you there!

The biggest surprise: Benny admitted that Just Like That is actually not bad.

Celebrities were asking questions live- Rick Astley and Joanna Lumley among others. The whole Q&A was filmed.

The biggest surprise: Benny admitted that Just Like That is actually not bad. I wonder if that's the same as "quite good"? What a a pleasant surprise, though, for we JLT fans!

Post by HOMETIME on May 27, 2024 19:05:20 GMT
I want more information!! What else was asked? And how was JLT referenced anyway? The celeb questions are interesting. If this was filmed, is it for broadcast - and, more to the point, what else will there be? Looking forward to reports of anything else tonight's show might hold, Michal. Have fun!

He looked a bit stony faced when Richard Arnold first mentioned it and begged for it to be released, and then it was brought up again later in another fan question.
He said it had a great chorus, but that the verse didn't fit because it was too 'musical theatre'.

It could be argued that Don't shut me down has a pop chorus with an extremely musical theatre first minute...
