After a year-long stint playing the part of Dorothy in the 2001-2002 run of ''TheWizardOfOz'' stage show, she released two albums, ''Follow Your Heart'' and ''BLISS''. The two albums were eventually certified Gold. However, her third album, an album half-full of covers entitled ''Let's Dance'', only barely peaked within the Top 50 of the albums chart and received no certification.

Her later career has included her partaking in the Australian version of DancingWithTheStars, guest-starring as an [[{{ensembles}} ensemble member]] on the improv comedy show ''Thank God You're Here'' and playing the role of Sheila in the musical ''{{Hair}}''. In 2006 she sought to discard her former "good-girl" image by [[HotterAndSexier appearing in a sexy photoshoot]] for the Australian edition of ''FHM''. She followed this up by performing as a wind-up doll at the Sydney gay and lesbian dance party Sleaze Ball and releasing a single, "Devilicious", that dealt with her newfound sexual image.

Nikki Webster (b. April 30 1987) is an Australian {{pop}} singer, actress, dancer, businesswoman and FormerChildStar who is best known for performing to an audience of billions during the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics. For anyone who only vaguely remembers the events, she was the little red-haired girl who appeared in the dream sequence, "swimming" with fish (with the help of a harness), getting caught up in Aboriginal festivities and the like. She also sang the songs "We'll Be One" and "Under Southern Skies" while standing in front of the Olympic Flame.
