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.

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.
