Saad niya: “What’s so exciting about this production is the collaborative effort of everyone, every partner that will bring back the magic of Bagets onstage.

“In terms of the storyline and the script, definitely we will keep the most iconic part — the barkada, the heartbreaks, the '80s music and dance.

“We also want to highlight yung film, hindi lang siya coming of age ng mga kabataan.

"Coming of age din siya ng mga tao, yung other characters sa paligid ng bagets.

"Like the ermats na, during that time, pinagsasabay yung pagiging career woman. Yung erpats na either missing in action, busy or quiet.

“And the bagets na navigating how to grow up to be a man.

"Kung paano ba sila mag-grow up, maging tao sa panahon ngayon.

"And hopefully, kapag napanood ito ng current generation, bukod sa inter-generational yung magiging conflict, mare-realize nila na yung struggles noon at ngayon, walang pagkakaiba.

“Magkakaiba ng panahon pero pareho ng puso.

"Aside from nostalgia, it’s also an invitation to reflect on who we are."

Ang Bagets ang pelikulang naglunsad sa showbiz career ni Aga kaya may mga mungkahing isali sa cast ng Bagets: The Musical ang kanyang anak na si Andres na may talento sa pagkanta.
