Music reviews of Big River: The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn (1985 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: Who would have thought?
Rating: 5 Stars
Roger Miller wrote and performed mostly light-hearted, sometimes goofy, but clever, country songs. Then, after he had left the stage for almost a generation, he penned this classic musical.
When I first saw it performed in a regional theater, I had to be convinced that it was the same Roger Miller.
Who would have thought he had so wide a range in musical styles, such with virtuosity in all of them?
The songs range from sensitive to hilarious, giving as wide a range of emotion as one could expect from a musical. This is a musical for everybody -- even those who dismiss the musical-theater genre as too frivolous for their masculinity!
Description of Big River: The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn (1985 Original Broadway Cast)
This unjustly forgotten masterpiece was in many ways the last great creative gasp for the late, great country songwriter-singer Roger Miller, who died in 1992. After he wrote countless country gems like "Invitation to the Blues," "King of the Road," and "Dang Me" during the 1950s and '60s, Miller's creative muse ran dry in the early 1970s. The drought continued until he made a remarkable comeback by penning the 20-song score and contributing vocals to the soundtrack of this 1985 Broadway adaptation of Mark Twain's literary classic. Big River still stands as a dazzling, heartwarming slice of musical Americana and the final crowning achievement in one of country music's most celebrated careers. --Bob AllenGeneral CDs
