Hey, Hey, Micky Dolenz of the Monkees at the Kate February 12

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, is pleased to welcome back Micky Dolenz on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at 7:30 pm.

After selling more than 65 million records worldwide as the star of “The Monkees” television show, Micky Dolenz has continued to make his mark in other areas of the entertainment business, through his varied career as an actor, director, writer, producer and performer.

Micky first established himself as a performer at age ten when, under the stage name of “Mickey Braddock,” he starred in his own first television series, “Circus Boy,” which aired on NBC and then ABC from 1956 to 1958. In his early teens, Micky guest-starred on a number of television shows. As he graduated high school and began attending college in the mid-‘60s, Dolenz also learned to play guitar. He soon began to perform with a number of rock ’n roll bands, including one called The Missing Links.

In the fall of 1965, Micky was one of 400 applicants who responded to a trade ad that announced auditions for a new television show about a rock band. He auditioned for “The Monkees” by playing and singing Chuck Berry’s legendary rocker “Johnny B. Goode,” and wound up chosen for the show along with three other actors: Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork.

In 2018 and 2019, Micky embarked on a tour with fellow Monkee, Michael Nesmith, across the U.S. and Australia and New Zealand. Micky continues to stand tall as a paragon of taste and accomplishment in the rough-and-tumble world of show business and entertainment. And oh, by the way - he remains a believer.
