Strawberry Kissed pop star Nikki Webster has signed on for a Perth production of sexed-up musical Hair, but is refusing to comment on whether she will appear nude.

Nikki is playing the musical’s female lead of Sheila who would normally appear in the mass-nudity scene.

Now 19, Ms Webster first came to prominence for her starring role in the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony at age 13.

However, she caused quite a commotion when she posed for a shoot with men’s mag FHM and later did another shoot with Zoo Weekly .

Although we should point out that appearing in corset, hot pants and boots in an air-brushed mag article is a long way from the full-frontal nudity for which Hair is known.

“Everyone’s going to have to come and see the show to find out,” she laughs, of the gear-on/gear-off question.

The musical’s producer Adam Bick, of Eventainment, is also refusing to confirm or deny whether the popette will appear nude. “The cast members will be getting their kit off, this is not a sanitised version,” he says.

“But as for Nikki, well, people will just have to come along and find out for themselves.”

Hmm, sounds like a deliberate marketing ploy to us.

Nikki did let slip to (Confidential) that she really should get back into the gym – perhaps to tone a few body parts that will be on show?

The musical is something of an Australian Idol reunion. Rob Mills will play the lead male role of Claude (and will be stripping). Cle Wootten, who plays Dionne, will be also be getting her gear off while nodule-girl Cosima De Vito will sing but will not act – read that she’ll stay clothed.
