"Part hilarious nostalgia and part poignant reflection on the growing pains of the generation following the Boomers. It is fun, rousing, and thoughtful." (Curtainup.tv)
"Rick Miller mixes memoir, uncanny vocal impersonation, flashy scenography and a dash of the jukebox musical in his latest one-man show, BOOM X" (Pat Donnelly, PatStagePage)
"Miller transporte les spectateurs dans un véritable voyage dans le temps...assisté de projections multimédias et d'astuces personnelles pour rendre le tout encore plus éclatant." (Musicalavenue.fr)
Rick Miller's new solo show has opened in Montreal, playing at The Segal Centre from Feb 14-Mar 10 2019. Set in Town of Mount Royal, QC, between the years 1970-1995 - from the FLQ crisis to the 2nd Quebec Referendum - Miller plays 100 characters to bring to life the music, culture and politics of "Generation X". It's a multimedia spectacle for audiences of all generations, and a love-letter to the city of Montreal (and to the ill-fated Montreal Expos!).
