Nikki's hairy role
PerthNow | March 26, 2007
Webster is playing Sheila, the show's female lead who would normally appear in the mass-nudity scene.
"Everyone's going to have to come and see the show to find out," Webster said in true showbiz fashion before letting slip that she really should get back into the gym.
The musical is also something of an Australian Idol reunion, with Rob "Millsy" Mills, Cle Wootten and Cosima De Vito all starring. De Vito is the only one of the three who'll stay clothed. If Hair's run in the west does well, the production could go to Melbourne.
Hair will be directed by Chris Kabay with musical direction by Simon Holt of yellow glass theatre inc.
Hair follows "The Tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired Hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" fighting against conscription to the Vietnam War.
Take a journey with buddies Claude and Berger, as they battle against draft notice, and the love of Sheila, who’s politically active lifestyle prevents her from pursuing either love interest. The hippie days of the late Sixties are epitomized by them and their friends Jeanie, Woof, Crissy and Dionne - and with songs like Aquarius, Hair, I Got Life, Good Morning Starshine, Hair and Let The Sunshine In.
