On Prom:

“Prom was the best musical I’d ever read.”

“[At the age of 17, Derrick] Wang sent me his musical Prom….Wang didn’t make any of those mistakes that even the best pros occasionally make. Prom was well-structured, too….I mean this: Pro-rated, considering that that this 17-year-old had spent comparatively few days on this planet, Prom was the best musical I’d ever read.”
