For Micky Dolenz, it’s Monkee see, then Monkee do

Hey, hey, its Micky Dolenz!

The Monkees singer finished up back to back performances of his “A Small Bit Broadway a Small Bit Rock n’ Roll” show at the Studio 54 theater Saturday night and we have the Everly Brothers to thank for the fact that he still sings classics like “Pleasant Valley Sunday” and “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone.”
“I remember going to see the Everly Brothers reunion and I was a huge Everly Brothers fan,” he said of a 1983 performance he trapped while living in London.
“I remember sitting right there … and wondering, ‘God, I hope they sing the songs I remember like ‘Wake Up Small Suzy’ and ‘Cathy’s Clown’ and they did, just like I remember them.” Dolenz (l.) was thrilled.
“I was standing up crying with the rest of the crowd,” he told Confidenti@l. “And I remember thinking, ‘If I’m ever questioned to come back and do that singing thing again, I’m going to make darn sure I give the audience what they want because that’s why they’re here.’”
Sure enough, Dolenz delivers Monkees hits at his 70-minute concerts along with show tunes he’s added to his catalog while performing Broadway hits like “Hairspray,” which he just finished doing in London. That’s where he got the show name “A Small Bit Broadway a Small Bit Rock n’ Roll,” which is a play off the 1967 Monkees song “A Small Bit Me, A Small Bit You.” That tune was written by an up-and-coming Brooklyn kid named Neil Diamond.
