| THE GREEN ROOM 42 PRESENTS THE RETURN OF "UNDIE ROCK" SENSATION THE SKIVVIES IN "A VERY SKIVVIES PRESIDENT'S DAY" WITH SPECIAL GUESTS LESLI MARGHERITA, NATHAN LEE GRAHAM, TIM HUGHES, FLORRIE BAGEL, LOGAN HART, KEVIN ZAK, AMBER ARDOLINO, GINA MILO, BEN BOGEN, KUHOO VERMA AND TRAVIS KENT MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17 THE GREEN ROOM 42 - the new intimate concert venue dubbed Broadway's "off-night hotspot" by The New York Times - will present the "A Very Skivvies President's Day" hosted by the "undie rock" sensation The Skivvies on Monday, February 17 at 7:00 PM . Come hear the hit Broadway duo Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley sing covers and parodies along with special guests including Tim Hughes (Hadestown), Olivier winner Lesli Margherita (Emojiland), Nathan Lee Graham (Priscilla Queen of the Desert), Logan Hart (Jagged Little Pill), Kevin Zak (Waitress), Amber Ardolino (Moulin Rouge), Gina Milo (Les Misérables), Ben Bogen (Frozen), Kuhoo Verma (Octet), Florrie Bagel (The Rose Tattoo), and Travis Kent (Disaster! ). THE SKIVVIES are Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley, 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. Nominated for "Show of The Year" for the 2015 MAC Award, The Wall Street Journal calls them "smart, sophisticated…ingenious," and Out Magazine says, "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." People Magazine named The Skivvies "The Most Playful Performers" in The Most Talked about Bodies of 2014 issue and Sports Illustrated named them "Favorite New Band." The New York Times calls them "a hot musical comedy duo specializing in unexpected arrangements, incongruous mashups, and of course, highly toned displays of skin." Molina ( Desperate Measures, Broadway's Rock of Ages, Sweeney Todd, Mary Zimmerman's Candide - Helen Hayes Award, Marry Me A Little) and Cearley (Broadway First National All Shook Up, Pageant, and on the OUT 100 list as one of the "most compelling actors of 2014") met in 2003 performing in Theatreworks USA's national tour of the "Just So Stories." Quickly becoming best friends and musical collaborators, they began performing together in the city, with clothes on. The Skivvies were born in 2012, when they became YouTube sensations with their unique covers of artists like Robyn, Carole King and Rihanna. The videos led to live shows, and now this "musically thrilling", undie-rock, comedy-pop duo continues to perform to sold-out audiences in New York and beyond. The Skivvies have performed at events such as Broadway Bares (raising money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS), A Tribute to Angela Lansbury with Tyne Daly and Christine Ebersole, Broadway for Obama, Human Rights Campaign benefit, Theatre C. They have made appearances on NBC, and filmed pilots for Fox, A&E, and WE. They also have a single, " Hardbody Hoedown" and music video directed by Augusten Burroughs, bestselling author of Running With Scissors. Previous venues include their residency at 54 Below, 42 West, The Highline Ballroom, Roseland Ballroom, Joe's Pub, The Cutting Room, Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles, The Smith Center in Las Vegas, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, City Theatre in Pittsburgh, Bay Street Theatre, Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, Key West's Red Barn Theatre, and The Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA where they also starred as Brad and Janet in The Rocky Horror Show directed by Hunter Foster.
