Mariah Carey makes secret Broadway debut in ‘Some Like It Hot’ musical

Mariah Carey just made this the hottest ticket on the Great White Way.

The pop diva, 52, made a surprise cameo at opening night of the Broadway musical “Some Like It Hot” on Sunday — but not in the way you’d expect.

Carey — who serves as one of the show’s producers — came over the loudspeaker at the beginning of the show with an audio recording for the audience.

“Welcome to the Shubert Theatre,” Carey could be heard stating, according to People. “At this time, please take a moment to turn off your cellphones, and remember the use of photographic equipment and recording devices is strictly prohibited.”

Carey’s announcement reportedly thrilled the audience, but it also caused quite a stir backstage.

“I first became familiar with this story through the timeless film starring Marilyn Monroe,” Carey said in a statement. “She’s been an important touchstone throughout my life, so much so that I acquired her treasured baby grand white piano at an auction.”

“When [producer] Neil Meron shared this new take on the beloved film, I knew I had to be a part of it,” she excitedly added.
