Idina Menzel, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Bernadette Peters, and Patrick Wilson will join some of country music’s biggest stars for Broadway Meets Country, a concert that will take place on Saturday, November 12 in the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center in the Time Warner Center.

Country music stars Trace Adkins, Raul Malo, Lee Ann Womack, and Trisha Yearwood will also participate in the benefit, which is part of Country Takes New York City, a week-long series coinciding with the 39th annual Country Music Awards to be held at Madison Square Garden on November 15.

Proceeds from the event, a presentation of the League of American Theatres and Producers Inc. and the Country Music Association, will benefit The Actors’ Fund of America and the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

A limited number of tickets to Broadway Meets Country will be made available to the public in the coming weeks.
