This past Halloween in New York, the Skivvies (Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley) performed The Rocky Horror Show, but it wasn’t just your typical version of the Richard O’Brien cult musical.

First of all there is The Skivvies themselves. They are so-named because they perform what you might call “stripped down” arrangement of songs while being mostly stripped down themselves. As are their guests. (Do you recognize them all? There were many award-winning performers who joined The Skivvies.)

But they don’t just perform the songs from the musical, they also create clever mash-ups bringing in songs that have word or thematic similarities.

If you enjoy the clips below, they will be performing their holiday show, I Touch My Elf in December with appearances at Feinstein’s at the Hotel Nikko, Joe’s Pub in New York, The Purple Room in Palm Springs, The Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach, Martini’s Above Fourth in San Diego along with other cities.

Lauren Molina has posted their entire Rocky Horror Show online, so let me share with you their version of Brad and Janet’s encounter with one Sweet Transvestite.

Note:  The Skivvies and many of their guests are in their underwear for this, there is also some foul language, as a result this may not be suitable viewing at work.

If that’s what they do with Rocky Horror, imagine what they’ll do with the holidays!
