This innovative new musical is a colourful journey toward a colourful Christmas. The adventure begins when amongst the shoppers, Millie admits to her brother Sam that she feels Christmas is not as colourful as it was. Unfortunately she declares her sentiments within earshot of two Magical Makeover Marketeers from the MMM (Magical Makeover Market). The triple MMM, the marketeer's Manager and Grimkin, his servile assistant, comply with her apparent preference for a grey world by transporting Millie and Sam, into Greyland. This is a world where both colour and Christmas are forbidden.

Here they are met by the confusing Guardians of the grey, Lon, Don and Ron, whose job is to take all those that do not adhere to the grey world laws to King Ming, the odious ruler of Greyland. Other colour transgressors join them on the way. A blind hedgehog guilty of thinking colour, a Pelican who possesses a truly colourful character, and a cool Chameleon who can change the colour of himself. For his own reasons King Ming however does not care to have any colour in his domain and the Guardian's prisoners are marched, by his regimented Greylanders, into a darkened cell.

It is here that a Band, (Rocky, Ozzie, Chic and Chad = ROCC) who wish to restore colour and Christmas to a land where a Greypole Dance has taken over, eventually rescue them. Harvard Hepstine, the Band's manager, who secretly plans a way of defeating the King and restoring the Greylings and Greyland to colourful normality, instructs everyone on how he sees the fight should go. Will his plans work?

Gawen Robinson

Gawen has written music for as long as he can care to recall (having composed around 300 songs before he was 14 on an old acoustic guitar given to him by his mother). Having experienced the rock music world for a number of years playing in several semi-successful bands he decided to concentrate on musical theatre (both acting and composing). His collaboration with lyricist Stephen Robertson has, over a number of years, produced The Old Curiosity Shop and Notre Dame, both being large scale, sung through musicals (at present they are reworking the former). Gawen has also composed several, small scale children's book musicals based around historical topics covered in primary schools. He is looking forward to starting on a major new work sometime soon.
