In 1948 the twelve year old Julie starred in Starlight Roof, a West End show, singing The Polonaise from Mignon, an aria that showcased to great effect her range and exceptional vocal ability. Julie’s rendition of Polonaise, possibly her first commercial recording, is the opening track on this CD which also contains her follow up recordings - Je Veux Vivre; Come To The Fair; Je Vous Dirai Je Mama and The Wren.

As well as appearing in various pantomimes, Julie was soon established on BBC Radio with a regular spot on the show Educating Archie. The cast of Archie recorded Jack And The Beanstalk which featured Julie performing a delightful solo titled When We Grow Up. Julie then originated the role of Polly Browne in the New York production of The Boy Friend to great acclaim. The day after the show opened Julie’s name was moved above the title of the show - at nineteen Julie had become a Broadway star!
