Mariah Carey concert chronology |
The Merry Christmas to All! Tour was a mini- concert tour by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. The concert series consisted of four arena shows and marked Carey's return to touring following the COVID-19 pandemic. Carey's two shows at Madison Square Garden were later adapted into a television special, titled Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All!, which aired on CBS and became the most watched program of its night, drawing in a total of 3.8 million viewers and a 0.4 demo rating. [1]
On October 24, 2022, Carey announced that she would resume touring following a brief hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic and unveiled two shows at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada and at Madison Square Garden in New York City. [2] The tickets to Carey's show in New York sold out after one hour, following which the singer announced that she would perform additional shows at each venue in Toronto and New York. [3] [4] To promote the shows, Carey made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she teased the possibility of her concerts being televised. [5] It was later announced that the singer would host a two-hour primetime special set to air on CBS and Paramount+ based on her shows in New York. [6]
The show's set list focused predominantly on Carey's catalogue of Christmas music, taken from her albums Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas II You, but also included performances of her other hits. The singer introduced the show with a rendition of The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky, with Carey using her signature whistle register, followed by a performance of Hark the Herald Angels Sing. The singer also performed the song, "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)", for the first time in public since the release of her 1994 album, Merry Christmas, as well as a duet of Away in a Manger with her daughter, Monroe Cannon. Carey's shows in New York featured appearances by The Rockettes, Jermaine Dupri and Slick Rick. A gospel choir appeared on several occasions, and dancers were present on stage throughout the show. Carey made a total of four costume changes, which included a snow angel-inspired gown, a red mermaid gown, a white mini-dress, and a red-and-black nutcracker-inspired outfit during an encore performance of All I Want for Christmas Is You.
