BOOM: Part 1 of the BOOM Trilogy (1945-1969)

“BOOM will blow your mind! A triumph of clever writing, state-of-the-art production and remarkable performance.” – Edmonton Sun Written, directed, and performed by Rick Miller, BOOM is an explosive solo performance that brings the music, culture, and defining events of the Baby Boom era to life. Spanning 1945 to 1969, from the first atomic bomb to the Apollo 11 moon landing, BOOM takes audiences through 25 turbulent years that shaped modern history. Through over 100 characters and 25 era-defining songs, Miller gives voice to the politicians, activists, musicians, and cultural moments that changed the world. Blending cutting-edge multimedia with tour-de-force storytelling, BOOM moves through the Cold War, McCarthyism, Beatlemania, JFK, MLK, Vietnam, and the Summer of Love in a fast-paced, unforgettable theatrical experience. Powerful, nostalgic, and wildly inventive, BOOM is a mind-blowing journey for audiences of all generations.
