James Barbour is a singer and Broadway actor. He graduated from Hofstra University with a degree in Acting and a minor in Philosophy. In late 2007, he performed the role of Sydney Carton in a world premiere pre-Broadway musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities at the historic Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. He was cast once more as Sydney Carton in the Broadway musical adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities, which opened for preview on August 19, 2008, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York.
He also starred on Broadway in such Tony Award-winning and nominated shows as Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Carousel, Jane Eyre (for which he was nominated for a Drama League Award), Urinetown, and Stephen Sondheim's Assassins. In 2001, during the run of Jane Eyre, Barbour had two, inappropriate sexual encounters with a 15 year old aspiring actress who initially visited his dressing room. The second encounter took place in Barbour's apartment and involved oral sex.
