- <p> I fall in love with whatever I'm working on," says George
- Abbott. That's a lotta love, since the master showman is 102.
- His latest flame: Frankie, a musical version of Frankenstein
- that he's readying for New York City this year. Mr. Abbott --
- only close friends address him otherwise -- has put his wizard's
- touch on some 120 productions but cautions, "You don't know how
- good anything is until it's in front of an audience. You want
- to see if they laugh in the right places." If they don't,
- there's an unstoppable play doctor in the house: a certain Mr.
- Abbott.
