...Five singles. Capitol counters with Tracie Spencer, 12, whose first album came out last month, while A&M has Shanice Wilson, 15, who landed her record contract by winning a talent contest. Even Tracy Chapman, 24, a singer-songwriter out of Boston, sounds like a flashback.

The technical staff, the press agent, even the creators thought they had been assured of at least one more week by Producer Friedrich Kurz, 39, a West German impresario making his Broadway debut. Although most of the reviews had been scathing -- particularly about the superannuated kick line of high school girls, cumbersomely elaborate sets and inadvertently hilarious dance number about slaughtering a pig -- a number of critics nonetheless expected the show to find an audience and thrive. That was what had happened, despite...
