Micky Dolenz of The Monkees comes to Orlando to sing those songs and tell some stories

And then there was one. Micky Dolenz is the last surviving member of the Monkees, those irresistible 1960s stars of stage and screen unfairly derided as a “Prefab Four.”

With the benefit of time, we can now see that the Monkees somehow had their cake — hits like “Last Train to Clarksville” and “Daydream Believer,” a wildly popular TV show still in reruns, sellout tours — and ate it too — experimental film Head made with Jack Nicholson, giving Jimi Hendrix a big U.S. break, wrenching creative control
from studio bosses and going psychedelic with album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd.

Dolenz played percussion and sang in the quartet and Wednesday he’ll be taking center stage to play the Monkees’ hits (there are many) and tell some stories in between. Hopefully he throws in a song or two from recent EP Dolenz Sings R.E.M.

8 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, The Plaza Live, $49-$190.
