About this concert
Micky Dolenz shot to fame as the lead singer on some of The Monkees' biggest hits, including "Last Train to Clarksville," "I'm a Believer" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday." The group began their careers in the '60s, starring as an imaginary band struggling to make it on their eponymous TV show. Happily for the four actors who played The Monkees, they had no difficulty achieving pop superstardom themselves. Dolenz has since performed in musicals on Broadway and London's West End, and toured the world as a solo artist. Now you can hear some of The Monkees' greatest hits, along with selections from musical roles he's played, when Dolenz hits the stage at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. Also on the bill is Felix Cavaliere. A founding member of the Rascals, he's also a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriter Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Rascals' topped the charts with memorable hits including "Good Lovin'," "Groovin'," "How Can I Be Sure," "A Beautiful Morning" and "People Gotta Be Free."
