Raising money for the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, Beck will perform at Albury Entertainment Centre on Saturday, July 18.
Beck has starred in some of the biggest musicals produced in Australia, including as Maria in The Sound of Music, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Fantine in Les Miserables and Truly Scrumptious in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Her award-winning role as Belle opposite Hugh Jackman in Beauty and the Beast was a highlight for fans of musical theatre everywhere.
Now in Rachael Beck - Concert for the Cancer Centre, Beck will perform live with the Border's Murray Riverina Jazz Orchestra.
Beck said she was thrilled to support a cause that touched almost everybody.
She said cancer was indiscriminate and impacted too many people's lives.
"It hits all of us and it seems to be more and more prevalent," she said.
