Report: The Skivvies rock Williamstown with guest artists Randy Harrison, Alison Fraser plus others
The Skivvies at Goodman Hall performed as part of the cabaret tradition
of the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
Event Report by Larry Murray

There are a lot of things that happen as part of the Williamstown Theatre Festival that are less well known than the star-sprinkled theatre they produce at the ’62 Center. Things like open readings of new scripts, free pre-performance talks and the Poker Field performances outdoors. These serious endeavors have helped the festival burnish its reputation as both a serious artistic innovator and a solid community asset.

But there is also a less heralded side of this enterprise, its wonderful series of Cabaret evenings that happen several times each summer. They are of course great fun, and can be full of surprises as they often give apprentices a chance to strut their stuff in front of a seriously knowledgeable audience. Even so, with headliners like Lewis Black and Justin Long on stage, they can come delightfully close to the scandalous and sophisticated entertainment you will find in New York City at Joe’s Pub or 54 Below or in Las Vegas showrooms.

So it came to pass that Sunday and Monday July 26-27, the musical duo The Skivvies brought their undies rock to Goodman Hall on the Williams College campus, located just steps from where those giant eyeballs grow out of the grass. With merry wit, questionable taste and lots of guest artists also willing to peel off their pretensions for a bit of fun, the evening had the happy crowd begging for both more (music), and less (modesty), even after a long delicious set in which we heard the strains of a Wagner aria mixing with Green Day and Britney Spears.

Joining them on stage were special guests Randy Harrison (Queer As Folk), Alison Fraser (WTF’s Far From Heaven), Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), and Will Swenson (WTF’s upcoming The Moon for the Misbegotten), each of them doing a song and comic turn which they devised with the band. The Skivvies are the singers Lauren Molina (WTF’s Ten Cents a Dance) and Nick Cearley (All Shook Up) and while most of the covers of songs they performed were straight from the pop music list of the past half century, for Williamstown they made side trips into the musicals of the past, doing takeoffs on words like “happy” to survey the musical theatre genre.Alison Fraser delighted the audience with “Brand New Key” a rarely heard pop song written and sung by folk music singer Melanie ( Melanie Safka-Schekeryk), which became a novelty success during 1971-72.

Randy Harrison contributed several songs, playing odd instruments, dancing with crutches and doing a takeoff on mimes in the process. While up on stage, the actor revealed a new tattoo, and continued his playful relationship with odd musical instruments that tinkle. Afterwards many in the audience made their way to Hops and Vines, a Water Street eatery that is popular with the theatre crowd to mix and chat with the artists. Several of the guests got to get a good look at Harrison’s new tattoo, including yours truly, who can report that it is an intense and colorful addition to the actor’s appearance, and the real deal.
Will Swenson joined the band for a mash-up of Pachelbel’s Canon with lyrics that made my ears bleed, even as I was lapping up every delicious note of his parody.

For many people spending a busy week at work or perhaps on vacation, the WTF Cabaret was their chance to unwind, have a drinnk and some rocking musical fun. As Out Magazine wrote, “The Skivvies have managed to carve out a niche that we never knew needed to exist, part Weird Al-parody, and part sexy burlesque.” Manhattan may be their home turf, but Massachusetts will get another chance to see them – with different guest artists – as they fight the traffic to the cape for two nights in Provincetown on August 20-22, 2015. theskivviesnyc.com
Next up in the WTF Special Events Series

The Darrell Hammond Project | August 10 at 7:00 PM
Written and Performed by Darrell Hammond
Additional Material by Elizabeth Stein and Christopher Ashley
Directed by Christopher Ashley
Main Stage; $100/$65/$45

Best known for his strikingly spot-on impressions of a cavalcade of celebrities on Saturday Night Live, prolific comedian Darrell Hammond tells the story of the harrowing events that gave birth to his brilliant talent. Join Darrell on “the detective story of his own life” as he delves into the trauma and tenacity that made him a beloved entertainer. Full of raw emotion, humor, and plenty of the impressions that made him famous, The Darrell Hammond Project is the story of how a brilliant star rose from the darkest corners of human experience.

Baby Wants Candy | August 20 – 22 at 8:00 PM and August 21 at 11:00 PM
Center Stage; $20

WTF is planning to introduce its audiences to Baby Wants Candy, one of the best-known, longest-running, and most-celebrated improv shows in the world. Baby Wants Candy is a roller-coaster ride of spontaneously choreographed dance numbers, rhyming verses and witty, jaw-dropping comedy. After the WTF Apprentice Company kicks off the evening with a little improv, the Baby Wants Candy cast will ask the audience for a suggestion of a musical that has never been performed before. This should prove interesting, don’t you think?
