Title: James Barbour Shines as Sydney Carton
Review: This costumed concert performance is an excellent demonstration of the music and plot of the popular Broadway show "A Tale of Two Cities". It must have been a wonderful show to see during it's run.The book and score are good, and the cast is great. Every actor is spot-on, and their beautiful voices are top notch. There is something exceptional about the show's lead, James Barbour. Whenever he enters a scene you forget you're watching a show and get caught up in the story. And then he sings. It is not exaggeration to opine that there have been few such magnificent voices.The story, by Dickens, rings gloriously through this production. And the end of the show -- very faithful to the source material -- is as powerful as the end of the book. (If you know the book, you understand what high praise that is.) It's rapturous.
