LeanneG asks: What other stage play would you like to be a part of in future?

maybe a pop one with lots of dancing – that’d be a bit different.

and it’s great to see the finished product.
Steven_ninemsn says: What is involved in the film clip productions?
Nikki Webster says: Coming up with the idea of the film clip. Then getting a director to direct. Turning up on the day. Filming it
– then it goes into production where they pick up the best bits. Then you get different takes of how it’s getting better and better
– seeing how it grows is a great feeling for me as a performer.
