Micky Dolenz

Hey, hey, it’s a Monkee! One-fourth of the extremely popular made-for-TV band The Monkees, Micky Dolenz is both a pop star and a successful actor.

In this show, he bridges his dual careers, performing Monkees hits as well as songs from Broadway shows and his personal favorites. With the Monkees, he sang lead vocals on some of their biggest hits—“Last Train to Clarksville,” “I’m a Believer,” and “Daydream Believer”—all presented in this show to ecstatic acclaim.

Dolenz included “As We Go Along” (Carole King /Toni Stern) from the Monkees’ psychedelic cult movie Head (directed by a young Jack Nicholson), performed The Beatles “Oh! Darling” in an homage to his good friends, and a rocking version of “Goin’ Down,” one of the best Monkees songs co-written by the group and Diane Hildebrand.

Dolenz opened the show with Leiber and Stoller’s honky tonk “D.

W. Washburn,” which The Monkees recorded.

A nice version of “Don’t Be the Bunny” from Urinetown (Mark Hollman/Greg Kotis) and “Mr. Cellophane” (Kander and Ebb) from Chicago showed his musical theater side.

He brought out his sister Coco for added harmonies, and she rocked a version of The Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” in a nod to the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. Together, they performed a swinging a cappella version of “Bye Bye Blackbird” (Ray Henderson/Mort Dixon).

Last year he was on the road on a successful 50th anniversary tour of The Monkees, and now he returns to cabaret for this engaging, intelligent show.

Steve Murray

Always interested in the arts, Steve was encouraged to begin producing and, in 1998, staged four, one-man vehicles starring San Francisco's most gifted performers. In 1999, he began the Viva Variety series, a live stage show with a threefold mission to highlight, support, and encourage gay and gay-friendly art in all the performance forms, to entertain and document the shows, and to contribute to the community by donating proceeds to local non-profits. The shows utilized the old variety show style popularized by his childhood idol Ed Sullivan. He’s produced over 150 successful shows, including parodies of Bette Davis’s gothic melodramedy Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte and Joan Crawford’s very awful Trog. He joined Cabaret Scenes 2007 and enjoys the writing and relationships he’s built with very talented performers.
