PETE TOWNSHEND: IRONMAN (Atlantic). A fabulistic -- if not fully fabulous -- rock musical based on an allegory by the poet Ted Hughes. The album may lack Tommy's delirium, but at its erratic best, it has more soul...
...Pryce is deliciously campy yet sympathetic as the Engineer, a Eurasian pimp evocative of the emcee in Cabaret. In Salonga, a star is born. Playing a plaster saint, she is stunningly real. But the show's final moments are so bleak that despite an $8 million advance, its future may not be assured. Some downers, like Les Miz, are at heart ups. This one is only a down...

To attract younger customers, the company introduced a brand of cigarettes known as Dean, playing off the popularity of Hollywood legend James Dean. Since antismoking campaigns are only beginning to build in most Asian countries, the region's cigarette-marketing wars are likely to produce plenty of smoke and profits for several years to come...
