Carianmax is a name her parents fully made up (yes she’s Dominican, how did you know?!) and from a young age she knew that if her name was already unique, then she should embrace her uniqueness in every other part of her life. The songs in this cabaret represent everything that is Carianmax: Her obsession with Barbra Streisand, her love for Fleetwood Mac, her passion for Latinx representation, and most of all her love for the people who got her to where she is today.
Join Carianmax Benitez and friends for an evening of singing some of her favorite songs that embody what it truly means to be Carian to the MAX!
