‘One Day in September’: A Riveting Journey of Self-Discovery Opens Tomorrow Night at the Athenaeum Theatre!
Get ready, Melbourne! The stage is set for an exhilarating night of theatre as ‘One Day in September’ opens tomorrow night at the Athenaeum Theatre. This compelling new production promises to captivate audiences with its rich narrative and powerful performances, tackling themes of love, identity, and the sacrifices we make in the name of ambition.
Leading the charge is the charismatic Keanu Gonzalez, who has been turning heads as Kenickie in the hit production of ‘Grease the Musical’. In ‘One Day in September’, he takes on the role of Sam, a professional footballer whose life spirals into chaos as he navigates football fame and a personal relationship. As he grapples a romance with the brother of one of the WAGs, Sam is forced to confront the harsh realities of living in the public eye, where every choice can be scrutinised, and every moment can lead to scandal.
Joining Gonzalez on stage is a stellar cast that includes the talented Ashleigh Rubenach, known for her breathtaking performances in ‘Sunset Boulevard’, and the dynamic duo of Lorinda May Merrypor and Yashith Fernando, both of whom have wowed audiences in ‘& Juliet’. Rounding out the ensemble is Des Flanagan, from ‘Moulin Rouge’, bringing an undeniable energy to the production.
‘One Day in September’ is a poignant exploration of self-discovery and the sacrifices that often accompany the pursuit of one’s dreams. As Sam grapples with his identity and the pressures of maintaining his public persona, the audience is invited on a thrilling journey that challenges societal norms and ignites conversations about love, acceptance, and what it truly means to be oneself.
