On March 15, Lin-Manuel Miranda performed an epic Outkast medley with The Skivvies at 54 Below. Check below to watch the performance!

Lin-Manuel Miranda won the 2008 Tony Award for Best Original Score for In the Heights. He also performed in In the Heights, both on and off-Broadway. He also performed in the 2002 Off-Broadway production of Merrily We Roll Along.

The Skivvies is a "musically thrilling" undie-rock, comedy-pop duo don't just strip down their musical arrangements, they literally strip down to their underwear to perform their distinctive mashups and eccentric originals for cello and ukulele, with touches of glockenspiel, melodica, and a surprising array of under-used instruments. Award-winning singer-actors Lauren Molina (Marry Me a Little, Sweeney Todd, Rock of Ages) and Nick Cearley (All Shook Up) became YouTube sensations as The Skivvies, with living room videos that displayed their powerful harmonies as well as their powerful abs. Those clips led to live shows that The Wall Street Journal called "smart, sophisticated...ingenious," and Out Magazine, "The Skivvies have managed to carve out a niche that we never knew needed to exist: part Weird Al- parody and part sexy burlesque...and unusual explosion of satire and sultry." They also have a single and music video directed by Augusten Burroughs, bestselling author of Running With Scissors.
