A solo performance by the multitalented Rick Miller, BOOM is an explosive journey spanning 25 years (1945-1969) of the Baby Boomer generation.

The play follows the stories of three main characters, all portrayed by Miller: Maddie, who grew up under the shadows of alcoholism and domestic violence; Rudi, who grew up in Allied-occupied Austria devastated by the war; and Laurence, a draft dodger and victim of racial abuse.

As their stories converge in Toronto in the late 1960s, Miller takes us through 100 different characters in 100 minutes, a time-lapse of the turbulence that was the post-War era. The play ends on the day when Rick Miller was conceived: the day of the first manned moon landing.

BOOM is a can't-miss theatrical experience. There is no question BOOM will become an international hit because its themes, characters and music are universal... Miss it at your own peril.☆☆☆☆☆ Calgary Sun

A visual feast! Miller’s best solo show to date – with a brilliant design concept that allows him to use his inimitable vocal talents to tell this story in a way that no one else could.The Globe and Mail
