Are you going to have live music played during the show or is it prerecorded? If it is live, see if you can get the musical director to transpose the music down to a lower key register for you. Then it will be in a more comfortable singing range for you. This is done all the time! This can be alot of work for the musical director and they may not want to do it, or they may not have the ability / training to transpose. It depends on your musical director and his/her abilities and how much time he or she has. Really talk to your director and music director about getting the key changes done to the score of the show for you. Perhaps there is someone else who can do it for the music director. Not only do they have to change the piano score - they have to change the music of all the other instrumentalists who might be playing in your orchestra. That means writing all the music out note for note! It can be alot of work if you have many musicians in your orchestra.
If the music is a prerecorded digital, CD, or whatever and played over the sound system - you may not be able to do much. Working with a good voice teacher might help you to hit those notes. I have known many Baritones who, with good teachers, grew up to be tenors!
As for learning the lines / songs / and rhythm, all you need is practice, practice, practice!!!!! You'll be fine.
