Rick Miller’s Boom X set for Crow’s Theatre EAST TORONTO performer Rick Miller will present his Boom X show at Crow’s Theatre from May 10 to 28.

Crow’s Theatre is located at 345 Carlaw Ave. on the northeast corner of Dundas Street East.

Miller, who lives in the Danforth and Monarch Park avenues area, is known for his award-winning shows MacHomer and Bigger Than Jesus

In his show Boom X, Miller performs the voices and mannerisms of more than 100 notable characters from music, pop culture and politics from 1970 to 1995.

In Boom X, Miller is immersed in a multimedia time

“ capsule that tells the story of some of the iconic moments in pop culture from those years.

Boom X is the second in the Boom trilogy spanning the lives of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y and Z.

Boom X picks things up at the famous Woodstock outdoor rock concert in 1969, and takes audiences all the way to the second Quebec referendum.

It is Miller’s own story that forms the spine of this sequel to the first Boom, as he experiences the growing angst – and many of the polarizing experiences – that impacted Generation X.

Performance times for Boom X are 7:30 p.m. on May 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27. There are also 1:30 p.m. matinees on May 13, 14, 20, 21, 27 and 28.
