Of the Skivvies, The Wall Street Journal said, “… a distinctive musical style, highly original … smart … sophisticated … ingenious.” And The New York Times raved, “Alt-cabaret, new burlesque — whatever you call it, the jolly musical comedy of The Skivvies, a troupe of entertainers who perform in their underwear, joyfully rock.”
