Boom X: The Music, Culture, and Politics of Generation X – on stage May 10 to 28, 2023 (Toronto)
Be sure to catch the Toronto premiere of Rick Miller’s BOOM X, The Music, Culture and Politics of Generation X, at Crow’s Theatre, May 10-28, 2023. Welcome to the age of Pac-Man, Star Wars and Much Music!
BOOM X begins at Woodstock ’69 and ends in 1995 when the internet has just begun to dominate the world. Throughout 100 minutes, Miller gives voice to more than 100 colourful characters from the days of punk, disco, the FLQ crisis, the Cold War, and his own life growing up and trying to navigate the tangled legacy of the Baby Boom.
After performing BOOM X on three continents, one of Canada’s most celebrated international theatre artists, Rick Miller, returns home to Toronto with his astounding spectacle that has blown away audiences of all generations. BOOM X comes from the Dora and Gemini Award-winning mind behind MacHomer and Bigger Than Jesus, and is the central piece to the BOOM trilogy which collectively spans 75 years of pop culture history on stage.
Kidoons and WYRD Productions in association with Crow’sTheatre Calgary, and The 20K Collective present
