Mariah Carey Reveals NYC Christmas Shows

For the first time in her two-decade-plus career, Mariah Carey will headline a series of Christmas shows in New York. Set for mid-December, tickets go on sale during the second week of November but presales begin much sooner.

The shows carry a holiday theme, naturally. After all, would you expect anything less from the self-proclaimed “Queen Of Christmas?” “All I Want For Christmas Is You, A Night Of Joy and Festivity” will take over NYC’s Beacon Theatre Dec. 15-16, 18 & 20. The shows celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Carey’s Merry Christmas album which has sold more than 14 million copies to date.

“I can’t imagine being anywhere more special than live on stage, in my hometown, celebrating with my fans during the Christmas season, my most treasured time of year,” Carey said. “I can’t wait!”
