The Skivvies are Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley, award-winning singer/actor/musicians performing stripped down arrangements of eclectic covers and eccentric originals. Not only is the music stripped down ­ cello, ukulele, glockenspiel, melodica ­but the Skivvies literally strip down to their underwear to perform.

Molina (Broadway's Rock of Ages and Sweeney Todd) and Cearley (All Shook Up) became YouTube sensations with their Skivvies covers of artists like Robyn, Carole King and Rihanna. The videos led to live shows, and now this undie-rock comedy-pop duo, assisted by drummer Shannon Ford, performs to sold-out audience in New York and beyond. They also have a single, "Hardbody Hoedown," with a music video directed by Augusten Burroughs, bestselling author of Running With Scissors.

The Wall Street Journal calls them "smart, sophisticated...ingenious" and The New York Times says, "They strip with no tease. There's no suspense or winks at the audience, at the same time, they don't ignore their sex appeal so much as turn it into an offhand joke."

Under the auspices of Jacob Langfelder, 42West has transformed into midtown's new 14,000 square ft, blank canvas. In its first year, the multimedia, multipurpose events and performance space has featured Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Meryl Streep, Jessie Mueller, Tracey Ullman, Christine Baranski, Anthony Rapp, Sierra Boggess, The Skivvies, Chaka Kahn, Tony Yazbeck, Jeremy Jordan, LaChanze and many more. Adjacent to The OUT Hotel and KTCHN Restaurant located at 514 W. 42nd St., the venue comes equipped with a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system that can be used for live musical performances, off-Broadway theatrical productions, screenings, gallery exhibits, dance, cabaret and special events. 42West offers clients a seamless booking and execution of events involving any combination of hotel rooms, event spaces and catering.
