Event information

The Monkees Tale - Live on Stage (The Maltings, Ely)

A VALENTINE'S NIGHT SPECIAL

Hey ! Hey ! it's THE MONKEES TALE - LIVE ON STAGE - A Tale of Music and Mayhem!

The Monkees - Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork. This is an exclusive and unmissable matinee live on stage show in sound and vision and recreates the American legends and all their hits and classic tracks in a full evening show with full narration.

Micky, Davy, Michael and Peter started out as TV characters — a clown, a romantic, an intellect, and an innocent — living in a Malibu beach house, episodically trying to make a go of their music careers in a light-hearted, often surreal, and very meta sort of way. Significantly, the characters’ first and last names and those of the actors who played them were the same, blurring the lines between fiction and real life. From there though, they did one better. The TV characters stepped out of the screen to become a recording entity and went on to play songs written for the show in live settings as a band. In this way The Monkees became a uniquely multimedia experience, spilling over into real-life in a way that was unprecedented.

That first ever "manufactured" Boy Band was the brainchild of TV executives Bob Rafelson & Bert Schneider, selling MILLIONS of singles and albums ...starting with "Last train to Clarkesville"! Yet even today it remains shrouded in mystery...What really happened behind the scenes?

Hear the uncensored truth about Davy, Micky, Michael & Peter; enjoy all the MONKEES hits performed live by this amazing band as our seasoned host, Jimmy Rafelson unfolds the fantasy and fiction.

All the hits and classic songs are in this live stage show including: * I’m a Believer * Daydream Believer * Last Train to Clarksville * A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You * Pleasant Valley Sunday * Valleri * (I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone * to mention but a few.
