A CHRISTMAS PETER PAN
By Kathryn Schultz Miller and Philippe Radelet
AT RISE: The stage is set for a nursery or bedroom for children. There may be beds and a window,
though benches may serve for bed and the opening and closing of an imaginary window may be
mimed. WENDY, JOHN & MICHAEL enter singing and stand in place with their hands held together
in a formal pose, giving their parents a Christmas concert. MOTHER, FATHER and NANA enter and
listen attentively.
(SOUND CUE #1: We Wish You a Merry Christmas [short intro]. Audience may sing along.)
CHILDREN: (Singing.)
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas!
And a happy new year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year. Oh,
bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of
good cheer
We won't go until we get some; We won't go until we get some; We won't go until we get some, so
bring some out here
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas!
And a happy new year.
(SOUND CUE ENDS.)
MOTHER: (Claps.) All right, children! Off to bed!
(JOHN & MICHAEL hop into bed. WENDY sits at the edge of her bed.)
MICHAEL: Can we have a bedtime story? Please!
JOHN & MICHAEL: Puh-leeeeeeeeeeese…
NANA: (In a dog’s whine.) Eeeeeeeeeeeeesssss! Ruff!
MOTHER: Not tonight children. This is Christmas Eve. And you know what that means.
JOHN & MICHAEL: Santa’s coming!
MICHAEL: Oh, can’t we stay up until he comes? If we tiptoe and hide behind the sofa he’ll never
know we’re there!
JOHN: And we might get a look at him!
FATHER: Your sister Wendy tried that when she was your age. Tell them what happened, Wendy.
1
WENDY: He never came. Until I fell asleep.
MOTHER: You see? It’s very bad for children to try to see Santa.
MICHAEL: Shoot.
FATHER: Now boys! Snuggle in!
MOTHER: And in the morning you will see what Santa has left under the tree.
JOHN: I want a pirate hat and a real sword! (Putting on gruff pirate voice.) Shiver me timbers, maties!
MICHAEL: I want a Spiderman, a Bigfoot and a stinky evil Gnome and a pony and a…
FATHER: And you, Wendy. What do you want this Christmas?
WENDY: Oh, what I want wouldn’t fit in Santa’s pack or even under the Christmas tree. It’s more than
a present.
JOHN: What is it then?
WENDY: A wish.
MOTHER: Well then, my dear. You must place it upon a star.
(SOUND CUE #2: Magical chimes.
MOTHER opens the window. WENDY goes to window. She closes her eyes and puts her hands
across her heart.)
WENDY: I wish, I wish…
(WENDY opens her eyes and her hand, and blows a kiss across her palm toward the sky.
SOUND CUE ENDS.)
MOTHER: Perhaps it will come true.
FATHER: There now. Hop into bed, Wendy. (MOTHER closes the window.) Come now, Nana. Time
to go.
NANA: (Shaking her head no.) Woooooooo!
FATHER: Now, now, Nana. You know you’re a dog and all dogs must sleep outside.
JOHN: But it’s Christmas, Father!
MICHAEL: Besides, she hasn’t set out milk and cookies for Santa yet!
(NANA looks pleadingly at MOTHER and FATHER.)
2
NANA: Wooooo… Ruff! Ruff! (MOTHER and FATHER exchange glances.)
MOTHER: All right, go ahead, Nana.
(NANA gathers her dignity and smoothes her apron and hat. She goes to get a tray with glass of milk
and cookies.)
MICHAEL: Make sure they’re chocolate chip cookies!
JOHN: And no eggnog. Santa hates eggnog!
NANA: (“Of course.”) Ruff. Ruff.
(NANA lays out her tray. ALL CHILDREN pull covers to chins.)
FATHER: All right, children. Go to sleep.
MOTHER: And soon it will be morning.
FATHER: Come along, Nana.
(NANA, MOTHER and FATHER, exit. After a moment, MICHAEL opens his eyes and pops up.)
MICHAEL: That’s just plain rotten.
JOHN: No story just because it’s Christmas.
MICHAEL: Will you tell us one, Wendy?
JOHN & MICHAEL: Puh-leeeeeeeeesssss…?
MICHAEL: A good story always helps me to fall asleep!
WENDY: All right. Once upon a time there were two brothers and one sister and they were all getting
ready for bed when a stranger flew into the nursery and called himself…
JOHN & MICHAEL: Peter Pan!
WENDY: That’s right.
MICHAEL: You’ve told us this story before.
WENDY: And Peter Pan said I’m a boy and I’ll never grow up.
JOHN: Yes! I remember this story. It’s almost like it really came true.
MICHAEL: (Yawning.) Long ago… as if in a dream…
(JOHN & MICHAEL get sleepy.)
WENDY: And Peter Pan said you should all go with me to Neverland. Then you’ll never ever grow up.
We’ll always play and have fun and it will be like Christmas every day!
3
JOHN: Yes. I remember. In Neverland where we’ll never grow up….
WENDY: And Peter Pan had a friend named…
MICHAEL: Tinker Bell…
(SOUND CUE #3: Gentle Jingle Bells; Magical chimes, etc.)
WENDY: (Sings softly to the tune of Jingle Bells”.) Tinker Bell… Tinker Bell…
JOHN & MICHAEL: (Singing sleepily.) Tinker Bell… Tinker Bell…
WENDY: Tinker Bell was a fairy and she could fly wherever she wished.
(SOUND: Magical chimes.)
Any time she wanted to she could just fly through the window…
(JOHN & MICHAEL fall asleep.
SOUND: Tinker Bell music [Jingle Bells w/ short intro])
(Singing gently.)
Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell…
Soon it’s Christmas Day.
Santa’s flying thru the sky
With presents on his sleigh!
(SOUND: A whoosh as the window flies open; Magical sound.
SOUND CUE ENDS
TINKER BELL enters. ALL awaken!)
JOHN, MICHAEL & WENDY: Tinker Bell!
(TINKER BELL does a little dance, then bows dramatically.)
TINKER BELL: (Kazoo: “It’s me!”)
MICHAEL: Oh, Wendy you did it!
JOHN: We’re in the story again. Just as if it is really coming true!
TINKER BELL: (Kazoo, extending an arm: “Ta-dah!”)
(SOUND CUE #4: SNOW FAIRIES music.
SNOW FAIRIES enter. They tumble in one by one doing somersaults, and cartwheels as they enter.
MORNINGSKY: Morningsky!
MOONDUST: Moondust!
4
STARSHINE: Starshine!
WHITEWING: Whitewing!
FRENCHIE: Frenchie !
DINGIE: Dingie !
(SOUND CUE ENDS.)
WENDY: Snow Fairies! How wonderful to meet you! But, Tinker Bell! Where is Peter Pan?
(TINKER BELL shakes her head and turns away, crying into her hands.)
STARSHINE: We are here to help Tinker Bell!
WHITEWING: And you, Wendy!
MORNINGSKY: We are here to help tell the terrible story!
FRENCHIE: Indeed, it is a terrible story!
DINGIE: OMG is that good or bad?
(They give her the look)
MORNINGSKY: Anyways, as I was saying we are here to help tell the terrible story (to Dingie)
That’s bad,!
MOONDUST: Of Christmas Peter Pan!
FRENCHIE: (crying). Poor Peter!! Why him?
JOHN: What’s happened to him?
(TINKER BELL breaks out into big, violent gestures, using her kazoo, trying frantically to tell the
whole story at once.)
WENDY: Wait, Tinker Bell! Slow down.
(TINKER BELL gives up.)
TINKER BELL: (To FAIRIES, kazoo: “You tell them!”)
STARSHINE: Peter Pan couldn’t wait for Christmas morning!
WHITEWING: He had to fly to the North Pole and see Santa for himself!
DINGIE: Santa? Cool, I have a list for him. I want new shoes, a designer dress and make-up.
5
(They give her the look)
MORNING SKY: Captain Hook followed him there!
WENDY: Oh, no, Peter!
MOONDUST: He had no coat…
FRENCHIE: No scarf
STARSHINE: No hat.
WHITEWING: No mittens.
MICHAEL: No mittens?!
WENDY: He knows he can’t fly when he’s cold!
(SOUND CUE #5: Dramatic music for telling the Peter & Santa story
[Flying, cold & fall; Santa music; Sad music; Captain Hook music]
TINKER BELL acts out what happened to PETER PAN: Flying, getting cold, shaking, then falling to
the ground. MORNING SKY becomes SANTA miming a big stomach, beard and laugh. Then SANTA
sees PETER PAN on the ground.
MOONDUST: And just when Santa was about to save him…
(SANTA bends over PETER PAN, both are crouched on the ground.)
STARSHINE: Captain Hook snuck up on them…
(WHITE WING becomes CAPTAIN HOOK, crooking up his arm like a hook and raising high over the
crouching figures with a wild look in his eye…)
MICHAEL: STOP!!!! I can’t bear to watch!
(Everyone freezes. SOUND CUE ENDS.)
WHITEWING: It’s true Wendy. Captain Hook has captured Peter and Santa!
(SNOW FAIRIES drop their poses and look beseechingly at Wendy.)
JOHN: Wendy, we have to go to the North Pole right away! We have to save Peter and Santa!
MICHAEL: Or Christmas will be ruined forever.
SNOW FAIRIES: Forever and ever and ever!
TINKER BELL: (Kazoo: “They’re right!”)
WENDY: Yes, of course they’re right, Tinker Bell.
TINKER BELL: (Kazoo: “Let’s go!”)
6
WENDY: But we’re not Snow Fairies like you. How will we fly without Peter?
TINKER BELL: (Gets and idea. Points to the audience. Kazoo: “They can help!”)
WENDY: That’s a great idea, Tink. Everyone! Please put on your mittens!
(WENDY mimes putting on her mittens to show them. Audience and JOHN & MICHAEL put on their
mittens.)
Oh, we’ll need some fairy dust. Snow Fairies, give us fairy dust.
(Snow Fairies realize they forgot the fairy dust. Ad lib “you were supposed to bring it”, “no, YOU were
in charge of that, etc.).
MICHAEL: (screaming) STOP!!!!!! What kind of Snow Fairies are you. You should be ashamed of
yourselves! A Snow Fairy without fairy dust is like a brain surgeon without a college degree.
WENDY: Or a pilot without eyes.
FRENCHIE: That makes sense
MICHAEL: Lady Gaga without a wig.
(Children and Snow Fairies all laugh).
DINGIE: hihihihihihihihihih (dumb laugh). Lady Gaga would never go out without a wig.
(They give her the look
MOONDUST: That was a good one buddy!
JOHN: (jealous of the attention) Yeah! It’s like a monkey without fleas.
(Children and Snow Fairies are disgusted. Ad lib “gross, eww”. At some point they all say “That was
nasty!)
MORNINGSKY: It’s all good, I gots this (with attitude). I’m gonna call the lab and have them send us
some fairy dust. (pulls out a cellphone.)
SOME KID: Excuse me, didn’t you hear the announcements? No cell phone use during the show.
That is so rude. (He/she snatches the cell phone and goes back to his/her seat as if nothing had
happened).
(STARSHINE takes his/her cell phone and sneak texts).
AT the lab.
Dr. Snow: Dr. Flake, we have received an urgent fairy dust order. Dr. Flake!!!
(Dr. Flake is sound asleep. He snores, talks during his sleep and even sings. Dr. Snow is running out
of options and splashes water in Dr. Flake’s face).
Dr. Flake: What? What just happened?
7
Dr. Snow: See, what had happened was... Well nevermind. I don’t know. Why are you wet?
Dr. Flake: How strange, how interesting.
Dr. Snow: Dr. Flake we have work to do (he shows the text messages).
Dr. Flake: Let’s get started.
(They mix water and snow powder)
BOTH: Voila!
Dr. Flake: Fresh fairy dust. Get the delivery guy using our brand new high tech communication
system.
(Dr. Snow whistles. The delivery guy appears)
Delivery guy: You called?
Dr. Snow: Yes, please deliver the fairy dust to this address (he gives him a card).
Delivery guy: Right away Dr.!
(He puts on his Ipod and pretends to be driving. He goes through the aisles and sings with his Ipod.
He changes songs. He sings really loud because of his headset. Back on stage).
Hi, I have a delivery for a Mr. Eveningsky.
MORNINGSKY: Morningsky’s the name.
Delivery guy: Oh, I’m sorry. Sign here please.
ALL: Bye, thank you , etc., (ad lib)
WENDY:John and Michael are you ready?
(JOHN & MICHAEL stand up on beds.)
JOHN & MICHAEL: Ready!
WENDY: Think Christmas thoughts!
MICHAEL: Christmas elves and jingle bells!
JOHN: Santa’s sleigh and flying reindeer!
WENDY: Now blow as hard as you can! One, two, three!
(Everyone blows…
SOUND CUE #6: Sound of wind, becomes flying music.
FAIRIES throw fairy dust.)
8
WENDY, JOHN, MICHAEL: Whaaooooooohhhhh!!!!!!
(The “gust” causes the CHILDREN to jump off the beds and twirl around the playing area. FAIRIES
are “blown” to the side of the stage or if possible up on a platform above them that overlooks the
stage/action. TINKER BELL flies in circles around the CHILDREN and honks on her kazoo.)
TINKER BELL: (Gestures: “Come on!” Kazoo: “Follow me!”)
WHITEWING: They’re taking to it quite well don’t you think?
MORNINGSKY: Flying is easy when you have Christmas Spirit!
DINGIE: Spirit? I have spirit too!
FRENCHIE: Girlfriend, spirit fingers don’t count
MORNINGSKY: ANYWAYS! Flying is easy when you have CHRISTMAS spirit.
MOONDUST: And mittens!
(CHILDREN falter a bit.)
STARSHINE: Oh dear, they’re falling!
WHITEWING: No problem! Just blow some winter wind!
(FAIRIES “blow” and throw confetti. CHILDREN fly as if lifted even higher.)
WENDY: Tinker Bell, are you sure you know the way to the North Pole?
TINKER BELL: (Indignant. Kazoo: “Of course!”)
FAIRIES: Second star to right and straight on till morning!
JOHN & MICHAEL: Christmas morning!
(CHILDREN join hands and fly away, entering the aisle and heading out behind the audience. NANA
enters and sees them go.)
NANA: (Howls in sadness after the CHILDREN.) How-oooooooooohhhhh!
(SOUND CUE ENDS.
NANA exits. CHILDREN exit out the back door.
FAIRIES enter playing area and set up for the next scene, speaking as they set up. FAIRIES set up a
ragged, skinny Christmas tree. As FAIRIES speak CHILDREN enter and will hide among audience
members until next entrance.)
MORNING SKY: But the North Pole was not a very merry place this Christmas…
MOONDUST: Even Santa’s Elves had lost their Christmas spirit.
(SOUND CUE #7: O Christmas Tree [full first verse for intro].
9
FAIRIES move out of playing area as SANTA’S ELVES enter. SANTA’S ELVES sing sadly as they
decorate the tree.)
SANTA’S ELVES: (Singing.)
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How lovely are your branches
The sight of you at Christmastime
Spreads hope and gladness far and wide
We decorate you up because
We love our good old Santa Claus…
(SOUND CUE ENDS.
TOOTLE, CURLY and IGLOO stop decorating and drop their shoulders and sigh in despair.)
TOOTLES: It’s no use. This Christmas tree will never look right!
PINKIE: Why sure it will! All it needs is a star on top. Help me up!
(TOOTLES, CURLY, and IGLOO make a human pyramid with their backs for PINKIE to scramble up.
PINKIE places the star at the top. PINKIE comes down and they all stand back to look.)
See, what’d I tell you?
(STARSHINE uses a slide whistle to make the falling sound as the branch droops with star. [FAIRIES
may have the branch held up by a string and let it go to droop on cue.])
CURLY: Christmas will never be the same again!
IGLOO: Not with those nasty pirates taking over the North Pole!
TOOTLES: Why, when I think of all those toys we made…
PINKIE: (Shaking his head sadly.) Yep. Yep. Lotta toys.
CURLY: How I slaved over my Holiday Barbie!
FANCIE: She’s awful pretty, Curly.
TOOTLES: And I worked my fingers to the bone making that Bigfoot Monster all the kids were asking
for!
PINKIE: It’s true, Tootles, it has real big… feet.
IGLOO: And Stinky Evil Gnome is better than anything I made last year. Why it was downright…
FANCIE: Stinky. I know, Igloo.
TOOTLES: What’ll become of ‘em, Pinkie? With no “Naughty or Nice” list we don’t know who they’re
supposed to be going to!
CURLY: Why without Santa’s “Naughty or Nice” list…
10
IGLOO: Not to mention without Santa himself…
TOOTLES, CURLY, IGLOO: Christmas is doomed!
(TOOTLES, CURLY, IGLOO pull out big red handkerchiefs and cry. PINKIE gets a little choked up
himself. PINKIE pulls out his own handkerchief, wipes his nose and gathers strength.)
PINKIE: Now listen up here, men! We got to pull ourselves together! Would Santa want to see us
crying and moping around like this on Christmas? Well, would he?
TOOTLES, CURLY, IGLOO: No…
PINKIE: No he would not! He’d be all… Ho! Ho! Ho! And laughing and shaking his belly like a bowl
full of jelly!
TOOTLES, CURLY, IGLOO: (Nodding, agreeing.) He would, yeah…
PINKIE: ‘Course he would! Just cause he isn’t here this Christmas… Why that’s no reason why we
can’t… we can’t …
TOOTLES, CURLY, IGLOO: Can’t what, Pinkie?
PINKIE: Why we can’t… look forward to next year.
TOOTLES, CURLY, FANCIE, IGLOO: (Groaning.) Ohhhhhh….
TOOTLES: Christmas is doomed.
(SANTA’S ELVES groan and exit.)
MORNING SKY: And not far away in Peppermint Cove…
STARSHINE: Captain Hook’s boys were hiding out…
(SOUND CUE #8: Pirate music.
PIRATES enter as their names are called carrying mops, except for SMEE who carries the bucket.
They can dip their mops in bucket, later SMEE will use it for pudding pot.
WHITEWING: The first pirate’s name was Tattoo Bill…
TATTOO BILL: (Pushes up sleeve and flexes muscles, to audience.) Ha-ha!
See my terrible tattoos, you scallywags! Argg!
MORNINGSKY: Then came Skylights…
SKYLIGHTS: Ha-ha! See my terrible glass eye! (Lifts eye patch.) Argg!
DINGIE: Then Noodler whose hands were fixed on backwards.
NOODLER: Ha-ha! See my terrible hands that are fixed on backwards! Argg!
11
STARSHINE: And also Bullet, the man who always carries a bullet
BULLET: See this?! Look at me funny and it will end up between your eyes!
MORNINGSKY: Bullet’s cousin was Scary. He was very, hmmm, what’s the word ...
SCARY: Scary!!! ARGHHHHHHH.
FRENCHIE: Then came the twin pirates
LEFTY: Hi, I’m Lefty
RIGHTY: And I’m Righty. I am the cute one.
LEFTY: Excuuuuse me? I am the cute one!!!!!
RIGHTY: No way!
LEFTY: Yes way!
(They start “fighting”, the fellow pirates separate them)
TATTOO BILL: Cut it off, you are twins. You look alike.
SKYLIGHTS: Yes! And you know what that means!
LEFTY and RIGHTY: We are both cute!!
STARSHINE: The last pirate was Smee. He was a terrible, terrible cook!
SMEE: Ha-ha! Try my terrible, terrible food! (He goes to audience in front row
or aisle seat and offers a spoonful of soup.) Have a taste of my Pirate Plum Puddin’! (Puts wooden
spoon to audience member’s mouth.) Terrible, isn’t it? (audience member agrees.) Argg!
(SKIP FORWARD TO NEXT SOUND CUE.
SOUND CUE #9: Deck the Halls [short intro].
ALL PIRATES: (Singing.)
Swab the deck and scrub the galley!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Tis the season to be rowdy!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
We’re the pirates of the season!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Join us now in merry treason!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
(SOUND CUE ENDS. )
12
WHITEWING: But there was one pirate more terrible than all the others put together…
SMEE: Psst! Coast is clear, Captain!
(CAPTAIN HOOK sticks his head out, looking around cautiously, sniffing for enemies.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: No Indians?
PIRATES: No.
CAPTAIN HOOK: No children?
PIRATES: No!
CAPTAIN HOOK: No alli… alli… alligator?
SMEE: No sir, Captain! Haul him in!
(CAPTAIN HOOK pulls on rope, tugging in his bounty: PETER PAN wrapped in ropes with gag in his
mouth. PETER PAN struggles and makes muted sounds while SMEE and CAPTAIN HOOK tie him to
the Christmas tree.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: Ha-ha, Peter Pan! What’s the matter there, Peter? Looks like you’re a little tied up
at the moment!
SCARY: You just had to get an eyeful of old Santy, didn’t ya?
CAPTAIN HOOK: That’s what I like about you Peter. You’ll never grow up.
(PETER PAN spits out his gag.)
PETER PAN: What have you done with Santa, Hook?
CAPTAIN HOOK: Let’s just say we’ve got him on ice.
SMEE: Let’s just say he’s a little under the weather.
CAPTAIN HOOK: Let’s just say he’s got himself a little… cold!
(Pirates laugh uproariously.)
PETER PAN: Ice? Cold? You’ve frozen Santa?
CAPTAIN HOOK: What else am I supposed to do with all this ice we got up here at the North Pole,
hmm?
PETER PAN: But you can’t do that! He’s got toys to deliver! It’s almost Christmas morning!
CAPTAIN HOOK: Christmas! Christmas! Blast your blitherin’ blubberin’ Christmas! It’s over, Peter! All
over!
(SOUND CUE #10: Twelve Days of Christmas [short intro].)
13
PIRATES: (Singing.) (Assign solo lines)
On the worst day of Christmas we poked ‘em in the brig!
We’ve captured Peter! We’ve frozen Santa!
We’re gonna blow it! We’re gonna sink it!
We’re gonna crush it! We’re gonna bash it!
Christmas beware!
No lousy trees!
No darned socks!
No toys for tots!
Stick it all in your jolly old ear!
(SOUND CUE ENDS.)
PETER PAN: That’s all well and good for me, Captain! But what do you think the Alligator will think of
it?
CAPTAIN HOOK: (Suddenly terrified.) Alligator ! Did you say Alli… alli…
alli…Alligator?
SMEE: Shut your claptrap! Nobody says that around the Captain. Never say…
PETER PAN: What? Alligator??? Oh, that’s right the Captain doesn’t like
gators does he? He’s scared of the Alligator, isn’t he?
SCARY: Ever since that scallywaggin’ reptile ate his arm…
CAPTAIN HOOK: Arg! (Grabs his hook, swoons with fear.) Ahhhrrrgggg!!!!
PETER PAN: What’s to be afraid of Captain? After all, the Alligator carries a clock so we can always
hear him coming can’t we? We call him Gator-Flav. He goes tick-tock, tick-tock…
(SOUND CUE #11: Tick-tock, tick-tock…)
CAPTAIN HOOK: Argggg!!!
SMEE: Knock it off, Peter!
PETER PAN: Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock… (To audience.) Everybody!
AUDIENCE & ALL: Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock…
CAPTAIN HOOK: Make ‘em stop, Smee!
AUDIENCE & ALL: Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock…
CAPTAIN HOOK: I can’t stand it, I tell you!
AUDIENCE & ALL: Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock…
14
CAPTAIN HOOK: (Holding his ears and running.) Ahhhhh!!!!!!
(CAPTAIN HOOK runs out, down aisle, through the audience. CHILDREN hide their heads as he
passes.)
SMEE: But Captain! What about the prisoner???
CAPTAIN HOOK: Arrrggg!!!!!!!
(CAPTAIN HOOK exits. PIRATES hesitate, look around, suddenly feel alone.)
SMEE and SCARY: Wait for us!
(SOUND CUE ENDS.
PIRATES go running after CAPTAIN HOOK, exiting.
CHILDREN & TINKER BELL in audience stand up and run up to stage.)
PETER PAN: Wendy! I knew you’d come! Good work, Tink!
(TINKER BELL gives a little toot on her kazoo and curtseys.)
WENDY: Oh, Peter! (She unties PETER PAN.) I was so worried! Have you been taking care of
yourself? Do you have a temperature? (She touches his forehead.)
PETER PAN: No time for that now Wendy. Tinker Bell, you’ve got to fly as fast as you can and find
Santa’s presents!
TINKER BELL: (Kazoo: “Got it!”)
(TINKER BELL flies away, exiting.)
PETER PAN: Wendy, you and the boys come with me! On the count of three! One…
WENDY: Peter, aren’t you forgetting something?
PETER PAN: I don’t think so.
(WENDY pulls mittens out of her pocket and holds them up.)
WENDY: Your mittens?
PETER PAN: Oh, thank you, Wendy.
WENDY: Put them on.
PETER PAN: Yes, ma’am.
(PETER PAN puts on mittens. WENDY smiles and shakes her head like a mother.)
All right, everyone! Think Christmas thoughts!
(Audience and ALL close their eyes and touch their temples working hard on Christmas thoughts.)
15
MICHAEL: Peanut brittle!
JOHN: Candy canes!
PETER PAN: (To audience.) One, two, three…
(Audience blows and they “lift” off, twirl and fly away. They fly into the audience, down the aisle and
out the door, exiting. After ALL are gone and it is quiet we hear…
SOUND CUE #12: Scary Crocodile, tick-tock, tick-tock…
GATOR enters and crosses half way through playing area, turns his head in a big menacing swoop to
AUDIENCE. He makes his hands like jaws, then throws up his little arms and shakes as if laughing.
Seriously scary again, GATOR slowly exits.
SOUND CUE ENDS.
MORNINGSKY: Back at Santa’s Workshop…
MOONDUST: Pinkie was trying to conduct business as usual…
(PINKIE enters and stands importantly on a bench with a long list. TOOTLES, CURLY, IGLOO,
FANCIE enter, scrambling in behind him.)
PINKIE: All right, everybody listen up. It’s inventory takin’ time.
(TOOTLE raises his hand.)
(Tiredly.) Yes, Tootles.
TOOTLES: ‘Suse me, Pinkie, but what’s the point?
PINKIE: Point? We’re Santa’s Elves. We take care of the toys. (Directing.) Now I want all the plastic
dinosaurs over here. I want your carnivores on the left and your herbivores on the right…
CURLY: Sir, uh, Pinkie, sir?
PINKIE: Not now, Curly. Now I want your Transformers on the right and your Hot Wheels on the left.
My Little Ponies on the left and Harry Potter Legos on the right.
IGLOO: Sir? Uh, Pinkie?
PINKIE: (Sighs.) What is it, Igloo?
IGLOO: Well, it’s about those Little Ponies, Pinkie. I wrapped ‘em all up in their boxes last night but…
PINKIE: But?
IGLOO: They squealed so loud I had to let ‘em out.
PINKIE: Let ‘em out? Where’d they go?
16
IGLOO: Not sure, sir. Word got around about the “Naughty or Nice” list. They said if Santa wasn’t
going to deliver them to the nice children they’d like to just go searching for them themselves.
PINKIE: Now let me get this straight. You let the toys out of their boxes?
(ELVES nod.)
So what we have now is a bunch of wild lost toys out there roaming around the North Pole.
(ELVES nod.)
All the Holiday Barbie dolls. All the Bigfoot Monsters. All the Stinky Evil GNOMES.
FANCIE: Yep, yep, that’s right, you got it.
PINKIE: (Quietly.) Did you, as Very Important Santa’s Elves, ever think this might not be a real good
idea?
(TOOTLES, CURLY, FANCIE and IGLOO shake their heads.)
FANCIE: We couldn’t bear to see them suffer, sir.
PINKIE: Listen to me. Listen carefully. Toys can’t live in the wild. Toys can’t live without the love of
children.
TOOTLES: They… they can’t?
IGLOO: Gosh, did we make a mistake?
PINKIE: Let me just say it this way so that you will understand: YES!!!!!! Without Santa, without
children, those toys are LOST!!! LOST FOREVER!!! We’ve got to get out there and find them.
NOW!!!!
(SANTA’S ELVES exit.)
STARSHINE: And out on the frozen tundra…
(LOST TOYS enter and get in line as a chorus.)
WHITEWING: The Lost Toys tried to keep their spirits up.
DINGIE: That’s easy to do. I always keep my spirit fingers up.
(They give her the look)
(SOUND CUE #13: Joy to the World [short intro].
Spidy is the conductor.)
Note from Philippe: toys who don’t have a name yet will have one once we have tried on
costumes. Lines will assigned later.
SPIDY: All right everybody, one more time… with feeling.
LOST TOYS: (Singing.) (Sing twice. Solo lines will be given the second time)
Toys to the World, for everyone!
17
We’re here to make you smile!
We’re shiny and so new
We’re painted pink and blue
We shoot and squirt and ping!
We zip and bop and ring!
On Christmas you open us and we will sing!
We like to sit beneath your tree
And wait for Christmas day… (ALL stop singing as STINKY speaks.)
STINKY: It’s no use, Terry, we can’t sing this song any more…
(SOUND CUE FADES THEN ENDS.)
BIGFOOT: Everybody knows we’re not going to be under any Christmas trees this year.
SPONGY: Everyone knows Captain Hook captured Peter Pan and Santa!
BARBIE: (Crying.) It makes my makeup run.
BIGFOOT: It makes me stompin’ mad!

(SOUND CUE #14: Clip-clop of hooves and whinnying of ponies.)
SPIDY: (Calling off.) My Little Ponies! Giddy-up!
(TINKER BELL leads, LOST TOYS follow her, exiting. MY LITTLE PONIES enter behind them,
whinnying as they follow, looking lonely and upset. They gallop behind, exiting.
SOUND: Ominous CAPTAIN HOOK music.
PIRATES enter cautiously, sniffing
SOUND CUE ENDS.)
SCARY: Smells like something’s up.
CAPTAIN HOOK: Not the Ga… Ga… Gator!
SCARY: No. Smells like… garbage.
19
CAPTAIN HOOK: Garbage? Like a Stinky Evil Gnome?
SMEE: And perfume, and … (Sniffs the air.) Hot Magenta. And… (Sniffs the ground.) Big feet. And
lookee here, sir. Pony tracks!
CAPTAIN HOOK: Toys! Santa’s toys.
SMEE: Jolly Roger that, Captain.
CAPTAIN HOOK: And where there’s toys there’s….
PIRATES: (Sneering.) Children!
(PIRATES suddenly see children in the audience and start sniffing around them.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: And where there’s children, there’s… Christmas! (Growling at audience member.)
And I hate Christmas.
(PIRATES lift their arms up as if to capture audience members when SANTA’S ELVES enter. PINKIE
leads importantly carrying a butterfly net. IGLOO also has net. TOOTLES stumbles in circles looking
at compass, CURLY has his eyes glued to the ground, looking through magnifying glass.)
CAPTAIN: Quick, Pirates!
(CAPTAIN HOOK ducks behind audience member.)
PIRATES: (To audience member.) Shh! (Clamp their hands over audience members’ mouth and
hides behind them.)
PINKIE: We’ve got to find them, Tootles! Use your compass.
TOOTLES: That way’s north! They could have gone that way.
PINKIE: North! Good! Straight ahead!
TOOTLES: Then again, that way’s south. They could have gone that way.
PINKIE: Ah, nuts, Tootles, which is it? If we don’t find them soon the toys are lost forever!
FANCIE: Look! Bigfoot’s big footprint!
IGLOO: And Barbie’s high heel prints!
CURLY: And pony tracks!
PINKIE: We’re hot on their trail, men. Keep your heads down and your eyes open.
(SANTA’S ELVES exit. CAPTAIN HOOK and SMEE stand up and laugh and sneer together.)

SMEE: Elf stew.
(They share a diabolical laugh and tiptoe, following the ELVES, exiting.
SOUND CUE 15: Scary Alligator, tick-tock, tick-tock…
ALLIGATOR enters and stops, looks at audience. Audience may chant tick-tock-tick-tock…
ALLIGATOR nods in approval and slowly exits.
SOUND: Sound of whirling, cold wind.
PETER PAN enters carrying parts of the sleigh. This may be made by stringing garlands of silk or
artificial greenery boughs to poles that are free standing on the floor. It needs to be flexible, light and
movable so that actors may carry it with them as they fly away later. SNOW FAIRIES help PETER
PAN to set it up as they speak.)
MOONDUST: And off in the distance…
STARSHINE: On a cold white iceberg…
FRENCHIE: Full of polar bears and seals
DINGIE: I love polar bears, they are so adorable!

WENDY, JOHN & MICHAEL enter and see what PETER PAN and SNOW FAIRIES have put
together.

JOHN: Wow! Look at this!
(They climb on and pretend to be Santa driving it, snapping imaginary whips.)
MICHAEL: On, Comet! On, Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!
JOHN: To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
MICHAEL: Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!
WENDY: But Peter, where are Santa’s reindeer?
PETER PAN: They probably ran away, Wendy. Without Santa they don’t know the way.
MICHAEL: (Defeated.) Gee, there’s just no Christmas without Santa, is there?
WENDY: Oh, Peter, I hate to say it but…
21
PETER PAN: But?
WENDY: I think Christmas is lost forever. Maybe we should go home.
PETER PAN: And not have any presents to open on Christmas morning?
WENDY: Peter, Santa won’t visit us forever. We have to grow up someday.
PETER PAN: Never! I won’t grow up. It will be Christmas forever, I tell you!
MICHAEL: Christmas forever!
JOHN: Christmas forever!
PETER PAN: Wendy?
WENDY: (Sadly.) Oh Peter, I wish I could make you understand.
MORNINGSKY: Look, Peter Pan!
(PETER PAN looks up. TINKER BELL enters.)
PETER PAN, WENDY, JOHN & MICHAEL: Tinker Bell!
(TINKER BELL tries to communicate excitedly, but she shivers and shakes from the cold.)
TINKER BELL: (Pointing behind her. Kazoo: “The Lost Toys. They’re that way! They’re coming!”)
PETER PAN: The Lost toys! You found them! Great work, Tink. Now we got to start making our
plans…
(TINKER BELL is nodding in agreement but starts to falter.)
First we got to get to Peppermint Cove, and we got to catch those old pirates… Tink?
(TINKER BELL shakes and starts to swoon. PETER PAN catches her.)
Tink!
WENDY: She’s so cold Peter. She had to fly so high in the sky.
MICHAEL: I bet it’s awful cold up there!
PETER PAN: Oh, Tink! Here take my mittens!
(PETER PAN gives her the mittens, the other children dress her in their warm things.)
MICHAEL: And my scarf!
JOHN: And my hat!
WENDY: Oh, Peter! It’s not enough!
PETER PAN: What can I do, Tink? I’ll do anything to save you!
22
(TINKER BELL tries to speak. PETER PAN listens close to her mouth. Then he speaks to audience.)
Tink says that she thinks she can get well again if children believed in fairies.
(SNOW FAIRIES bound onto stage, entering.)
MOONDUST: If you believe in fairies, sing with us!
(SOUND CUE #16: Tinker Bell music [Jingle Bells w/ short intro].)
STARSHINE: And believe with all your heart!
SNOW FAIRIES, AUDIENCE & ALL: (Singing.)
Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell…
Soon it’s Christmas Day.
Santa’s flying thru the sky
With presents on his sleigh!
WHITEWING: Now rub your hands together and send Tinker Bell all the warmth you can! Like this!
(FAIRIES rub their hands together and blow across their warm palms to send the warmth. TINKER
BELL gives a feeble reaction.)
MORNING SKY: Sing with us again!
SNOW FAIRIES, AUDIENCE & ALL: (Singing.)
Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell…
Soon it’s Christmas Day.
Santa’s flying thru the sky
With presents on his sleigh!
PETER PAN: It’s working!
MOONDUST: Now clap your hands!
STARSHINE: Louder!
(TINKER BELL slowly recovers.)
WHITEWING: Louder!
(SOUND: Magical sound.
TINKER BELL hugs herself and pats her arms to show she’s warmer. She stands and gives the
audience a little curtsey.
SOUND CUE ENDS.)
PETER PAN: You did it! Thank you, children! And thank you, Snow Fairies!
(SNOW FAIRIES bow and curtsey.)
MORNINGSKY: And look who just arrived!
23
(SNOW FAIRIES extend their arms to the approaching LOST TOYS. FAIRIES move out of playing
area, exiting as LOST TOYS enter, trudging, exhausted. BIGFOOT takes off one of his giant feet and
holds it in the air.)
BIGFOOT: My feet are killing me!
BARBIE: Your feet? I’m wearing high heels!
SPIDY: I am too weak to build a web.
SPONGY: (Looking up.) Look! Children!
LOST TOYS: Children?
(LOST TOYS are overjoyed as JOHN, MICHAEL, WENDY and PETER PAN enter.)
Children!
(JOHN & MICHAEL run to look the toys over. LOST TOYS love the attention.)
MICHAEL: A Stinky Evil Gnome!
STINKY: (Proud of himself, to MICHAEL.) Take a whiff!
MICHAEL: (Thrilled.) P-ewe!
STINKY: You’re welcome.
JOHN: A Spiderman action figure!
SPIDY: You got it.
MICHAEL: A Bigfoot Monster!
BIGFOOT: Pleased to meet ya!
(BIGFOOT extends his detached foot, they shake hands… that is, hand and foot.)
BARBIE: (To WENDY.) I hope you like to play dress up.
SPONGY: And I hope you like to squeeze.
WENDY: Oh, I do! Peter, they’re such lovely presents!
MICHAEL: They’ll look fine on Santa’s sleigh!
PETER PAN: Everyone, climb aboard!
(LOST TOYS arrange themselves on the sleigh.)
JOHN: But how can we fly without reindeer?
TERRY: I’ve got it! Observe, Ladies and Gentlemen. (Whistles.)
24
(MY LITTLE PONIES enter. They arrange themselves in a lovely little chorus.
SOUND CUE #17: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen [short intro].)
MY LITTLE PONIES: (Singing.)
We are a herd of ponies
With pretty manes and tails
We fly through dreams and storybooks
And lovely fairytales
We’re here to spread the happiness
In all the hills and dales
And to bring you and Santa home again!
Home again!
And to bring you and Santa home again!
PETER PAN: (Hitching them to the sleigh.) I can’t think of a better way to go!
Everybody ready?
ALL: Ready!
PETER PAN: Watch out, Captain Hook! Here we come!

(SOUND: Flying, wind sounds…)
Hooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!
(ALL exit, flying, down the aisle and out behind the audience.
SOUND CUE ENDS.

STARSHINE: And all the pirates were celebrating!
(SOUND CUE #18: Water sloshing on ship; Deck the Halls [short intro].)
ALL PIRATES: (Singing.)
Deck the halls with Santa’s helpers!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Pitch ‘em in the sea below us!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Now we sing our pirate’s carol!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Stick ‘em all in Captain’s barrel!
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
(SOUND CUE ENDS.)
SCARY: Bring ‘em out, mates!

(PETER PAN, WENDY, JOHN & MICHAEL enter and hide among the audience, watching.)
PETER PAN: Shhh! Everybody! Keep your heads down!
(SANTA’S ELVES enter one by one as their names are called. PIRATES “throw” each ELF, passing
them down the line.)

PIRATES: Tootles! Curly! Igloo! Pinkie! Fancie!
(CAPTAIN HOOK enters.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: And now for our special Christmas treat!
(CAPTAIN HOOK yanks a rope and drags SANTA in. SANTA is frozen in an awkward position, arms
in the air, draped in icicles. He may be wheeled in on a low cart or scooted in on cardboard. PIRATES
and/or SNOW FAIRIES may assist.)
MICHAEL: Santa!
(PETER PAN clamps a hand over MICHAEL’s mouth.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: Eh? What’s that I hear, swimming out in the sea?
(SMEE looks around, CHILDREN duck their heads.)
SMEE: Nothin’, sir. ‘Spect it were otters.
CAPTAIN HOOK: Blasted noisy otters. All right men, prepare the plank!
(PIRATES move two benches together to use as plank. ELVES tremble in fear. CAPTAIN HOOK
sneers and waves his sword around ELVES and SANTA.)
First we’ll dispose of these nasty little Elves. And then it will be Santa’s turn.
(SMEE brings “Tootles” forward.)
SMEE: Here’s your first one, Captain.
JOHN: Oh, no!
CAPTAIN HOOK: What? What’s that I hear?
PETER PAN: Nothing but us otters, Captain!
CAPTAIN HOOK: What? What’s that?
MICHAEL: Just a bunch of us polar bears, Captain!

stage.
SOUND CUE ENDS.)
PETER PAN: What’s the matter, Captain? You’re not afraid of a little crocodile are you?
CAPTAIN HOOK: (Sneering.) Peter Pan. Aren’t you ever going to grow up?
PETER PAN: I may be just a boy but I’m not a coward!
(TINKER BELL jumps onstage and hands PETER PAN a sword. PETER PAN and CAPTAIN HOOK
sword fight. TINKER BELL helps PETER PAN by distracting CAPTAIN HOOK.)
Take that and that and that!
(CAPTAIN HOOK is wounded in the leg.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: Shiver me timbers! I’m dying, dying!

HOOK moans and tries to escape by climbing the plank. CROCODILE drools below him.)
PETER PAN: Might as well jump, Captain!
CAPTAIN HOOK: J…J…J…Jump?
(TINKER BELL uses kazoo excited, wildly.)
TINKER BELL: (Pointing to audience. Kazoo: “They can help!”)
PETER PAN: Good idea, Tink! All of you can help us beat Captain Hook! We need you to make a big
gust of wind like we did before. On the count of three blow as hard as you can. One, two, three!
(ALL blow.
SOUND: Sound of strong wind.)
CAPTAIN HOOK: (Swaying in the gust.) I’ll get you for this, Pan!
PETER PAN: So long, Captain Hook!

curdling scream…)
