Boom X

The Music, Culture, and Politics of Generation X

Rick Miller follows up his hit show BOOM with the Toronto premiere of BOOM X, the Gen X stand-alone sequel that spans the years 1970-1995. It‘s the second in a trilogy of solo multimedia performances, which collectively span 75 years of music, culture, politics, and technology on our planet. BOOM X picks up where BOOM left off, at Woodstock in August of ‘69, and takes us all the way to 1995, when the internet began to dominate our lives. Over the course of 100 minutes, Miller impersonates over 100 colourful characters from the days of disco, the oil crisis, the FLQ crisis, the Cold War, video games, punk rock, the (second) British Invasion, and more.
