Joined by Colin the Cheermeister, who occasionally uses his ‘Cheermeisters’ to run amongst the audience in order to cheer them up. And Cecil, the mayor of Whoville, who finds himself the object of Nora’s unwanted attentions. The action starts with Colin being split in half (it can be done without being too messy) by the Grinch, who then teams up with Colin's ‘bad side’ in order to wreak havoc. But in the end, the Grinch’s nastiness is no match for the sweet innocence of little Polly Watt, who believes in being nice to him despite everything.

But unbeknownst to him, Long John Silver and his band of pirates have managed to get themselves on board and eventually take over the ship, and strand them all Treasure Island. This is the starting point for more comedy involving a demented Ben Gunn, a ghost and a six-foot invisible pink rabbit called Roger. In the end the pirates are defeated, and they all return home rich. The final scene is capped by the entrance of Ben Gunn’s ‘invisible’ pink rabbit, appearing on stage draped in jewellery.
