Lyn Paul's dream of starring in a stage musical came true in 1997 when she was offered the lead role of Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell's Blood Brothers. Since then she has played the part many times in the West End and at theatres around the UK.

In 2002 Lyn starred in the West End production of Boy George's musical Taboo. The following year she lent her talents to a new musical, The Biz!, by Chris Hamel-Cooke and Charles Garland. In 2007 she starred as Vi Moore in Footloose The Musical. The programmes from these productions are described below.

Taboo
The Venue
6th May - 15th June 2002

Lyn Paul performed in Taboo from 6th May - 16th Nov 2002. During that time the cast went through many changes, with consequent updates to the theatre programme.

When Lyn first joined the show the programme listed the original cast, with Matt Lucas as Leigh Bowery, Gemma Craven as Josie James and Hannah Jane Fox as Virus. Lyn Paul and fellow-newcomer Lucy Newton were featured on a programme insert. Boy George, who took over the role of Leigh Bowery for six weeks was not credited as a member of the cast at all.

17th June - 7th September 2002

A new Taboo programme was produced for the Summer months, when Mark Little took over the role of Leigh Bowery from Boy George.

The Venue
9th September - 16th November 2002

Lyn Paul took time out from Taboo in August for a family holiday. While she was away the cast went through a number of changes:

• 5th August: Boy George returned to the role of Leigh Bowery; David Burt took over from Mark White as Derek James / Petal; John Partridge replaced Mark McGee as Marilyn; Dan Carter replaced Joe Docherty as Jake.
  
  
• 12th August: Nicola Dawn replaced Michelle Hooper as Janey.
  
  
• 19th August: Lucy Newton, who had been playing Virus, took over the bigger role of Kim from Dianne Pilkington. Alana Phillips was recruited as Virus.
  

These changes were reflected in a new programme, published on 9th September to coincide with the arrival of the new Leigh Bowery - Julian Clary. Declan Bennett, who up until then had played the parts of Gary and Guru Dazzle, became the new Billy. Ryan Molloy was the new Steve Strange.

Lyn Paul performed in Taboo for the last time on 16th November. Paul Baker and Euan Morton departed the cast at the same time.
