Julie played the role of the Kolokolo Bird in this musical by Stiles and Drewe at the 2004 Chicester Festival.

Based on the immortal short stories of Rudyard Kipling, Just So takes you on a fantastic journey along the banks of Africa's great, grey-green, greasy Limpopo River to meet an amazing collection of strange and wonderful creatures.

Set at the beginning of time, the musical introduces the Eldest Magician who has created a world of beasts and birds and fish. Everything was just so, until Pau Amma the Crab began playing with the ocean, causing a flood that threatened the other animals.

The cast appearing with Julie included Junix Inocian, Richard Dempsey, Ahmet Ahmet, Steve Elias, Nicolas Colicos, Alexis Owen-Hobbs, Akiya Henry, Dean Hussain, Simon Greiff, Helen Goldwyn, Andrew Spillett and Daniele Coombe .
