Mariah makes stage return, new pictures backstage

All set to make her grand return to the stage, Mariah Carey walked hand-in-hand with Nick Cannon inside of Gotham Hall in New York City on Thursday night (March 1).

Having steered clear of concert performances since late 2010 as she and Nick welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe in April 2011, the "Glitter" gal looked svelte in a black ensemble as she readied to take part in the Plot Your Escape promo show.

Mariah Carey performed the following songs. Its Like That, Shake it Off, We Belong Together, Ill Be There,  Touch My Body, Obsessed, Hero and Always Be My Baby.
