Broadway Inspirational Voices to Perform with Mariah Carey at the Beacon Theater

Broadway Inspirational Voices (BIV) will perform with the multi-Grammy Award winning Mariah Carey in her holiday show at the Beacon Theatre to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her "Merry Christmas" CD on December 15th, 16th, 18th, 20th-22nd.

Carey's album is the best-selling Christmas album of all time thanks to the classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date and 18 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles (17 self-penned), more than any solo artist in history. Mariah is a singer/songwriter/producer recognized with multiple Grammy Awards, 21 American Music Awards, Billboard's "Artist of the Decade" Award, the World Music Award for "World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium," and BMI's "Icon Award" for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name a few - with her distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting, and producing talent, Mariah is truly the template of the modern pop performance.
