Hairspray

Micky is returning to London’s West End after several years performing in productions on Broadway and touring in America.  Micky first established himself as a performer at the age of ten, when under the name of Micky Braddock, he starred in his first TV series Circus Boy.

In 1965 Micky responded to an advertisement for a new TV show about a rock and roll band.  Micky auditioned for The Monkees with Chuck Berry’s Johnny B Goode and was chosen as the lead singer and drummer.  The show was a huge success (it won an Emmy) and the group sold over 65 million albums.  The Monkee movie Head, written by Jack Nicholson, has become a cult classic.

In 1977 Micky appeared in Harry Nillson’s The Point at the Mermaid Theatre.  He ended up staying in the UK for twelve years!  During this time Micky became a prominent director and producer for the BBC, LWT and Central Television, as well as writing and directing the stage adaption of Bugsy Malone (West End).

Recent Theatre Credits include:  Pippin (Goodspeed Opera House and National Tour); Disney's Aida (Broadway/National tour); A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Canada); Grease (Broadway/National tour); The Wonder Years (Kansas); Remains to be Seen (USA); The Point (London); Tom Sawyer (USA).

Films include:  Rob Zombie’s Halloween (MGM); The New Love Bug (Disney); The Brady Bunch (Paramount); Deadfall (Trimark) and Head (Columbia).

Television includes:  Gone Country 3; Drew Carey Show; Ben Stiller Show; Boy Meets World; Pacific Blue; Days of Our Lives and As The World Turns.

He is currently recording a new CD, King for a Day, a tribute to the songs of Carole King, due to be released in 2010.

Micky is delighted to be returning to the West End with Hairspray and would like to thank his family and friends for their love and support… and especially his father for walking around the house in his boxer shorts singing Some Enchanted Evening.
