James Barbour to Begin Holiday Season at Sardi’s November 10

James Barbour will begin his fifth annual holiday season at Sardi’s with a pre-Thanksgiving concert on November 10 at 8:30pm, entitled Bring Me Giants.

The evening will feature songs from Barbour’s CD of the same name, released on GlobalVision Records Label.

Further holiday concerts featuring Barbour will run through December with special guests to be announced. In conjunction with these concerts, Laughing Dog Media is planning a series of interviews, hosted by Barbour, which will feature noted film and theatre luminaries interviewing their peers, co-stars, directors and Academy Award winning producers.

This interview series, to follow the concerts, will be filmed and recorded for global television and radio audiences with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Barbour received Drama Desk, Drama League and Outer Critics Award nominations for his portrayal of Sydney Carton in A Tale of Two Cities on Broadway. His other Broadway appearances include Assassins, Beauty and the Beast, Carousel, Urinetown, and Jane Eyre. He was most recently attached to the ill-fated musical Rebecca, which had planned to open on Broadway this season.
