PEOPLE, Page 65Mr. WizardBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
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.
