Anne Hathaway is ready to tread the boards again.

Before showing off her singing skills in Les Misérables this Christmas, the Oscar nominee will hit the stage at New York's Public Theater to perform in a one-night-only celebration concert. 

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

The Dark Knight Rises star will perform songs from the musical Cabaret on Oct. 24, including, "Perfectly Marvelous" and "Cabaret," according to the Public Theater's website.

Proceeds will benefit the revitalization of the Public Theatre's downtown home, which recently underwent a huge makeover to the tune of $40 million.

Hathaway previously starred in the Public's Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night in 2009.
