Playbill Biography: ROGER MILLER

ROGER MILLER

The Tony® Award-winning score of Big River was written by Miller, who was one of the great country singer-songwriters. Born in 1936, Miller wrote countless country gems, including "Invitation to the Blues," "King of the Road" and "Dang Me." He received an unprecedented 11 Grammy® Awards and held that record for 20 years. In 1985, Big River won seven Tony® Awards, including Best Score and Best Musical. Roger died in 1992 at the age of 56 and was elected posthumously to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1995. He is survived by his wife, Mary, and seven children.
