| - I am not a massive Mariah fan- her 90s R&B hits were more my jam than her older stuff, but she does a good mix of her hits for this show. As far as whether or not she lip syncs, I couldn't tell from my seats but she still sounded good and appeared to hit her notes. A couple of times, she asked for her mic to be turned up, and she did a couple of elaborate improv vocals, I'd say she at least does a good majority of her own singing. Bethany E. and I had a good time!

Starred my favorite songs. Her opening is pretty great, have your camera ready. They say no flash or video, but no one was really enforcing this- just be respectful. There are a couple of tracks where she walks through the audience, so this may be worth the orchestra prices if you're a superfan. Unlike Celine Dion, she goes quickly and doesn't pause for photos, so snap fast. The show moved along at a good pace, and I thought MC looked and sounded pretty good considering she's been out of the game for a while now. My only criticism would be that she didn't interact with the audience very much... I thought her 8-piece super-ripped male dance troupe slash eye candy posse totally made up for that though!
