July/August 2002

Hi,

I know its been a little while since I’ve written, because I’ve been really busy – even more than usual! with Wizard of Oz in Melbourne, and with publicity work for my new single.

It’s called Something More Beautiful, and it will be in shops in Australia this Monday, 29th July, 2002.

The CD features the Something More Beautiful video clip too!

And do you know what? If you’re one of the first to get a copy there’s a bonus calendar poster too – featuring some great new friends of mine, and they are SO CUTE. I have to say that I really loved doing the photo shoot for the poster. Just wait till you see it!

You might have seen the video for Something More Beautiful on TV, if not be sure to request it if you are in Australia, (Click Here for a couple of ideas on who to contact for requests). If you like to hear Something More Beautiful played a lot on radio, then you might like to request it. For a list of radio stations click here.

So, what have I been up to? I’ve been busy playing the role of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz in Melbourne. After a couple of weeks of rehearsals, we opened on 27th June 2002, and we’ve got lots more shows to play yet – I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there too.

And while I’m talking about Wizard of Oz, I can tell you that we are set to open in Brisbane, Queensland on Thursday 21st November, 2002. It’ll be nice to see some sunshine and feel some warm air, after spending a chilly winter here in Melbourne!

If you regularly get my newsletter, you’ll know I always answer a couple of questions, so here goes:

Q. Can I chat to you on MSN, messenger or online chat?

A. NO, I don’t have MSN chat, or any sort of chat. I have never had MSN, or messenger, or ICQ chat.

A few people have written or emailed lately saying things like “it was good to talk to you Nikki on chat the other day”. Everyone should know that I DO NOT use chat, no matter what the person you are talking to says.

Please be careful when you use the internet, and NEVER give out personal information like your name, or your address, or your telephone number to anyone.

Q. What’s your new album called, and when will it be coming out?

A. The album still doesn’t have a name, and I can’t give you an actual release date, but I can say it will be out a bit later this year. We (at my record company) do have a couple of names in mind though, so we are thinking about it. As soon as I have some news about the name of the album I can let you know!

If this is the first newsletter you’ve got from me I’d like to explain that because of my busy schedule I can’t answer the hundreds of fan mail I get weekly by writing to everyone individually. That’s why I write a newsletter!
