Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway will invite some new and old chums to Joe's Pub for an Oct. 24 benefit concert Perfectly Marvelous: The Songs of Cabaret with Anne Hathaway and Friends.

The 7 PM concert promises songs from the stage and film versions of the John Kander-Fred Ebb classic, Cabaret, including "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Maybe This Time" and "Perfectly Marvelous."

Tony Award winner Ted Sperling (The Light in the Piazza) will direct the concert that will be musical directed by Mary-Mitchell Campbell (Company). The one-night-only event is part of a celebration of The Public Theater's newly revitalized Lafayette Street home, which is in the final stages of a $40 million renovation.

"I am delighted to reunite with The Public for this special night to celebrate the theatre's rededication, and support its mission to spread great theatre to all the people of New York (tourists are welcome too)," Hathaway said in a statement.

Hathaway performed the role of Viola in the music-filled 2009 Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night. She stars as Fantine in the upcoming film adaptation of the hit musical Les Miserables, due out in December. Her screen appearances include "The Dark Knight Rises," "Rachel Getting Married," "The Devil Wears Prada," "Love and Other Drugs," "Brokeback Mountain" and "Alice in Wonderland."

A limited number of tickets are available to the general public for $300 and $100 for obstructed-view seats. Member tickets on sale now. Single tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Oct. 2.
