At a press conference held on November 14, Newport World Resorts unveiled the full cast and creative team of Bagets The Musical, the stage adaptation of the 1984 coming-of-age film Bagets.
As previously reported, leading the cast are Jeff Moses and Sam Shoaf as Topee, the group’s athletic heartthrob and martial arts ace, a role first made popular by JC Bonnin. Migo Valid and Milo Cruz take on Tonton, the barkada’s daredevil originally played by William Martinez. Noel Comia Jr. and Tomas Rodriguez portray Gilbert, the class clown once embodied by Herbert Bautista, while KD Estrada and Ethan David step into the shoes of Arnel, the “conyo” boy first portrayed by Raymond Lauchengco. Completing the barkada are Mico Hendrix Chua and Andres Muhlach as Adie, the baby-faced charmer and resident romantic originally played by Aga Muhlach.
