Now that they both have landed TV series that require them to spend significant time on the West Coast, Broadway stars Sutton Foster and Andrew Rannells will be performing on stage together for the first time.

Foster and Rannells are scheduled to appear April 6 at the 29th Annual Southland Theatre Artists Goodwill Event at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. The benefit concert is intended to raise money for AIDS Project L.A.

The Broadway-themed evening also will include appearances by Tyne Daly, Shirley Jones, Davis Gaines, Patrick Cassidy, Florence Henderson and many others.

General tickets are listed at $75 and premium tickets at $125.

Foster stars in the ABC Family series “Bunheads.” She has won Tony Awards for her Broadway performances in “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and last year’s “Anything Goes.” Rannells appears on NBC’s “The New Normal” and HBO’s “Girls.” He was in the original cast of “The Book of Mormon” on Broadway, playing Elder Price.
