Get ready to dust off your oversized blazers, crank up the OPM classics, and scream “Taralets!” like it’s 1984—because the ultimate Filipino throwback is officially coming to life!
“Bagets: The Musical” is set to premiere on January 23, 2026, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, bringing the beloved coming-of-age story of friendship, first love, and teenage chaos to the stage in a vibrant, song-filled spectacle that honors the iconic film while speaking to a whole new generation.
And guess what? Tickets are now available! 🎟️
🎶 From Silver Screen to Center Stage
Originally released in 1984, Bagets wasn’t just a movie—it was a cultural phenomenon. Starring a young batch of soon-to-be superstars (including Raymond Lauchengco, Herbert Bautista, and J.C. Bonnin), the film captured the messy, hilarious, and heartfelt realities of Filipino youth with authenticity that still resonates today.
Now, under the creative vision of NWR Musicals, this classic is being reimagined as a full-scale musical—complete with original songs inspired by ‘80s OPM, dynamic choreography, nostalgic set design, and all the hugot, kilig, and barkada feels that made the original unforgettable.
Whether you grew up quoting “Sige na nga, Taralets!” or you’re discovering Bagets for the first time, this production promises pure joy, laughter, and a whole lot of heart.
🎭 Why This Musical Matters
In an age of digital overload and fast-paced trends, Bagets: The Musical is more than entertainment—it’s a celebration of timeless Filipino values: loyalty among friends, the awkward beauty of young love, family struggles, and the courage to chase your dreams (even if you’re just trying to pass algebra).
NWR Musicals—known for revitalizing classic Filipino stories through theater—has promised a production that’s both faithful to the spirit of the original and fresh enough to thrill Gen Z audiences. Expect emotional ballads, upbeat ensemble numbers, and maybe even a surprise cameo or two!
