Dora and Gemini Award-winning performer Rick Miller is set to bring his high-octane solo production ‘BOOM X’ to Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton from January 21 to February 7, 2026. As the second installment in his acclaimed ‘BOOM’ trilogy, the show explores the seismic cultural and political shifts of the years 1970 to 1995, picking up at the tail end of Woodstock and navigating through the Cold War, the rise of MTV, and the birth of the internet. Over the course of 100 electrifying minutes, Miller portrays more than 100 characters—ranging from world leaders to rock icons—using a sophisticated blend of live performance, immersive projections, and a nostalgic soundtrack that spans disco, punk, and grunge. Described by the Calgary Herald as an “immensely entertaining magic carpet ride,” ‘BOOM X’ serves as both a poignant Gen X time capsule and a masterclass in multidisciplinary storytelling, capturing the vibrant spirit of a generation that redefined the modern world.
