James Barbour, the baritone who starred in Broadway's Assassins, Beauty and the Beast, Carousel and Jane Eyre, will be selfless, conflicted hero Sydney Carton in Broadway's new musical, A Tale of Two Cities. Facing the guillotine in the French Revolution-set musical drama, Barbour will repeat the role he created in the fall 2007 world premiere of Jill Santoriello's musical version of the novel by Dickens. He'll be Carton, the cynic who finds himself in a love triangle with Lucie Manette (played by Brandi Burkhardt) and French aristocrat Charles Darnay (played by Aaron Lazar, late of Les Miz and The Light in the Piazza).
