The clock is ticking. It's been months of preparation. After all the late night rehearsals and brainstorming, IKABOD the Musical is back with so much in store for its audience! Expect to see a fun filled show that the kids will surely enjoy. Watch out for a fun, fresh and exciting play only from the finest, AGHAM THeatre Company.

To give you a hint about the story, please read this:
The musical play Ikabod is based on an ancient belief that rats are souls trapped in transition before evolving to a next life level; that of becoming humans. These rats have to arrive at a certain realization before being allowed to enter the gates of higher being.
However, hilarious as it may be, the guardians to these coveted gates are cats! And so it has been told that cats chase rats in order to ward them off from entering the gates, to adhere to the order of allowing only three rats (sorry, souls!) to enter humandom only once a year, on a full moon. Countless number of rats race to prove to the cats their worth as deserving of the cross-over.
Ikabod, a restless and discontented rat with an attitude, does everything to prove himself to the cats. The conflict and humor ensues when Daguita, Ikabod's femme fatale rat girlfriend, presents another point of view.
Contemporary as it may be, this play presents the classic ideals and values, including the choices we have to make in life. Laced with Original Pilipino Music, immersed in rock and roll arrangements, the play presents a light, almost whimsical, and hilarious treatment that will give its audience a careful check on values, existence and purpose. What else can be better than presenting this with the beautiful lyrics of familiar music to our sensibilities as rats (sorry, humans!).
