THE SKIVVIES, JULY 25 & 31 AT 9:30PM:
This "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. They will be joined by special guest stars who will strip down and rock out. Expect a hilarious evening of genre-hopping pop perfection.

The July 25 show features Erik Altemus, Todd Buonopane, Matt Doyle, Jessica Hendy, Michael Urie, and Eli Zoller.

Tony Danza: STANDARDS & STORIES, JULY 26 & 27 AT 7PM:
Tony Danza and his band combine timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele performances in his Feinstein's/54 Below solo debut. Accompanied by his talented four-piece band, Danza performs a selection of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook, as well as selections from the hit Broadway musical Honeymoon in Vegas (which Danza also starred in), while interweaving stories about his life and personal connection to the music. Perhaps best known for his starring roles on two of television's most cherished and long-running series, Taxi and Who's The Boss, Danza has also established himself as a Broadway star and a cabaret song and dance man. Danza most recently received rave reviews for his performance in the Broadway musical comedy, Honeymoon In Vegas, with the New York Times calling his performance "sly genius," and a "career high." He has also starred on Broadway in the The Producers, A View from the Bridge, and opposite Kevin Spacey in The Iceman Cometh. Tony debuted his latest cabaret act, Standards & Stories, last year to a sold out audience at the world famous Carlyle Hotel in New York City, with The New York Times calling him "a live wire who tap-dances, plays the ukulele, tells stories and radiates irresistible charm."
