The evening, which is entitled Bring Me Giants, will feature songs from Barbour's CD of the same name.
Additional concert dates in the Sardi's Eugenia Room will be announced at a later time. The holiday concerts will begin at 8:30 PM, although the Eugenia Room will open at 8 PM for champagne, drinks and desserts.
Laughing Dog Media, which will present the concerts, is also planning a series of interviews, hosted by Barbour, which will feature film and theatre luminaries interviewing their peers, co-stars, directors and producers. The interview series, which will follow the holiday concerts, will be filmed and recorded for global television and radio audiences with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
