It's hard to believe that British pop sensation Pixie Lott is still only 25. Having burst onto the music scene at the tender age of 18 with her debut single, 'Mama Do' she's since had three number one singles in the UK charts and sold 1.5 million copies of her debut album. 

She's not content with just making an impact in the music world though. She's previously tried her hand at TV by appearing in the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and this year marks her first steps into the world of acting with her first theatre role. 

She's starring as Holly Golightly in the latest West End adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's and is currently preparing for it to tour in Dublin's Bord Gais Energy Theatre this month. Something she's very much looking forward to. 

"I'm really excited that the first city when I go back on tour will be Dublin because I really love Dublin. I'm sure we'll have lots of fun and the crowds in Dublin tend to be very good so hopefully they'll like it."

The move into acting is an organic one for Lott who has always been interested in performing in a variety of mediums. 

"I grew up in a theatre school I always wanted to get involved in as many sides of the performing arts as I could. This opportunity came up and I thought why not do it now?"

Making the transition into acting hasn't been without its challenges though, with the pressure of taking on such an iconic role made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie seeming a little bit daunting initially. 

"When I first saw the script I was like 'How the hell am I going to learn all of those lines?' cause there's so many and I'd never done it before. I remember getting dreams when I first go the script of me forgetting the lines on the stage but it actually hasn't happened yet so far. Hopefully it won't happen when I come to Dublin."

She also said that fans can expect to see a much darker version of Truman Capote's story than the movie adaptation.

"We're staying true to the original book and it's different from the film. I love it, it's darker. There's more about different sexuality and stuff which they don't highlight in the movie I think because it was illegal back in those days. I think it's exciting that we're staying true to how Truman Capote originally wrote it and hopefully he'd like that."

If you're worried that this mean she's putting her music career on hold though then rest assured that she has no such plans. 

"I think music will always be my number one and I love it and I think that's why I got it written into my contract that I have six weeks off now to do music so I come back to this show in Dublin and that will be the first city that I go back on the tour with which is exciting."

Breakfast at Tiffany’s will open in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on Monday June 13th and run until June 18th. Tickets are available here.
