This includes traditional, digital, photomanips, icons, comics, finger painting, interpretative dance (if you can figure a way to present it graphically), you name it.

+ Announced on the 9th of March there is going to be a sequel to the Broadway smash Phantom of the Opera. While Andrew Lloyd Webber didn't reveal much he did say that the new musical will be set in New York City and that he's in talks with "Phantom in Manhattan" writer Frederick Forsyth about story ideas. Here is his video announcement:

If you'd like to read more about this I found an article that sums things up:

+ Poll Results: Our Devious Members voted overwhelming against a second Phantom Musical based on the book Phantom of New York. Seems like AWL may be barking up the wrong tree.
