Hey again everyone! I'm back from vacation and back on Roundup duty as I settle in after my trip back from Michigan. Much merriment was had and as you can probably tell some game playing went on (love Dust!). Finally beat both Arkham games too! At this rate I'll be caught up with my backlog in about 5 years.

Anyhow, onward to the Roundup! Come on AJ!

SYNOPSIS: In the magical world of Equestria, all species have been able to coexist in peace for many years. However, when a group of adolescent dragons overstays its welcome in the tranquil town of Ponyville, the balance of the entire land is put into jeopardy. Can the magical Twilight, her young dragon assistant Spike, fashionista Rarity, and all of their friends calm the turmoil? Or will war break out in Equestria for the first time in over a thousand years? And will one pony‟s heart make a decision that could destroy the bonds that she and her friends have nurtured for so long? A tale of romance, family, and friendship, My Little Musical is an emotional roller coaster that will have audiences laughing one second and holding their breath the next.

ABOUT: My Little Musical is a romantic-dramedy fantasy musical inspired by My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Both the book and the music have been developed over the last two years and are approaching completion. Ultimately, there will be more than twenty original songs written for the production, mostly falling in the same genre as songs from the animated series, with some focusing on a rock base and others falling into more of a Broadway feel.
