A triple threat, Justice also acted, sang and danced in the 2009 Nickelodeon movie-musical Spectacular! with her Victorious co-star Avan Jogia.

Featuring an ensemble cast of teens who act, sing, dance and perform to original music, Victorious is a co-production with Sony Music and is created and executive produced by prolific hit-maker Dan Schneider (iCarly, Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, The Amanda Show). The Victorious theme song, "Make it Shine," is performed by Justice and co-written by one of today's most successful songwriters Dr. Luke (Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson) along with Michael Corcoran (Drake Bell, Miranda Cosgrove).
