This week, Ira spoke with Micky Dolenz, performing a special Valentine’s Day performance at The Strat, February 14 at 8 p.m. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Micky talks about who influenced him in the world of music before The Monkees (including one surprising choice); moving to England to become a film and TV director; the 1986 reunion that made him aware of the cultural impact of the group; the first time singing live on stage at a press junket for “Circus Boy”); why he doesn’t have a favorite episode of The Monkees’ television show; performing in Broadway shows; how John Lennon said The Monkees are like The Marx Brothers; being larger than life characters for The Monkees TV show; why Peter Tork was the one in the band who had to play a fairly different character from his real life; how his current show structure is a story going into a song; what he discovered about singing non-Monkees’ songs (there’s always a connection); why he performs all The Monkees’ hits in live shows; and his album, "Live At The Troubadour."
