...without the speed and dexterity of the digital palate, everything that was light and offhand in Shrek onscreen becomes heavy and in-your-face in Shrek onstage. Brian d'Arcy James, a competent Broadway-musical vet, looks the part in his lime green makeup as Shrek but misses most of the gentle-giant charisma of the character (voiced by Mike Myers) onscreen. His hilariously hyperactive donkey buddy is a big comedown when it's just a guy in a donkey suit - despite Daniel Breaker's good impersonation of Eddie Murphy's terrific performance. Sutton Foster, a Broadway superstar slumming here...

"Don't bother voting this text, because it won't be applied," warned Socialist Party leader and mayor of Lille Martine Aubry. "We'll be as ferocious in battling this project...
...people. To sit there with a group of friends and an amazing meal is something I really enjoy. Or you could go to Quince, tel: (1-415) 775 8500, run by the fabulous chef Michael Tusk. It's located on Octavia Street and Mike has incredibly light hands. I always order the pasta. It's Californian cuisine with touches of Italian. I ask for the pasta with caramel sauce. Finish the night by going to Tosca Café, tel: (1-415) 986 9651, in Nob Hill. Or, if it's Tuesday, I go to Enrico...
