BERT NEWTON: Nikki Webster and Nancye Hayes. Don’t want to make this an unabashed plug for the show, but I just thought it might be interesting. I made the comment that it’s a big show for a director. Now from people away from, from theatre, they might say is big simply the number of the cast or the size of the set? What do you mean by big?

NANCYE HAYES: Well there’s a lot of elements involved. As I say there are things that we have to make happen that are much easier to happen on film than they are on stage. As we know, the witch has to melt, and we have flying involved, the witch flying, and you flying in the balloon and all those things. We have a, a little Toto that has to do so many things and be with Nikki the entire time.

Good Morning Australia interview

BERT NEWTON: I’d like you to see some footage of a show which I’m very happy to be cast in, The Sound of Music, and there it is. Now the most important thing in The Sound of Music, or certainly one of the most important things, is the casting of the kids, and we’ve been very lucky so far. We’ve had some wonderful groups in each of the cities we’re playing in, including Perth right now, but we have special memories of Sydney, possibly because that’s where the show opened. But also, we had a very talented bunch of kids. There’s one particularly that I know that you will know already. Just have a look at the shot there, of the Von Trapp children, and right slap bang in the middle, is somebody who has been seen by 138 billion people right around the world. The only thing that I’m grateful for is the fact that I was nice to her during The Sound of Music. [audience laughs]

Nikki Webster, we love her, I know you feel exactly the same way. We welcome her to the show.

Hi Nikki.

NIKKI WEBSTER: Hi.

BERT NEWTON: It’s good to see you, it is good to see you. With everything which has been happening for you in recent times do you still have some memories of The Sound of Music?

NIKKI WEBSTER: Oh yes definitely. Actually on the opening of the opening ceremony I got a fax from them just before I went on and everyone had left their little message, and it was just so great to hear from them.
