The cast were reunited 21 years on from the much-loved film’s release.
The stars of School of Rock have paid an emotional tribute to their late co-star Kevin Clark, three and a half years on from the 32-year-old’s tragic death.
More than two decades after they first met on the set of the film, the actors who played Marta and Frankie tied the knot at a heartwarming ceremony.
Caitlin Hale and Angelo Massagli were just 10-years-old when they met during filming – and went on to start a romance in 2016, when they coincidentally both moved to Florida separately.
Released in 2003, the film starred Jack Black as a struggling guitarist who pretends to be substitute teacher at a school, and goes on to inspire a class of musically-gifted kids to form a rock band.
It was a huge box office hit, and was later adapted as a musical theatre production in London’s West End and New York’s Broadway.
While Black wasn’t able to make it to the wedding he did record a message for the happy couple, and the bride called the cast reunion a ‘time capsule moment’ in an Instagram post.
Sadly, there was a member of the team missing after School of Rock star Kevin Clark, who played drummer Freddy in the movie, died in a car accident in 2021.
Clark’s mother said at the time of his death: “He told his bandmates just yesterday: You know, this is finally the life I want to live. And we’re going to make it. You’re my musical family – my family – and we’re all going to make it.
“He loved music. He’s just a raw talent. He’s got a heart of gold.”
While Clark couldn’t be part of last week’s reunion, his castmates made sure he was there in spirit.
Fellow School of Rock star Aleisha Allen, who played Alicia in the film, posted some of the footage from the wedding along with a tribute to Clark.
She wrote: “When you begin your new year with your brothers & sisters from other mommas & misters (missing a few) like time has never passed (with all heartbeats synced to the rhythm of Kev’s drums), to celebrate an amazing love that blossomed from our 20+ year old bond!”
Another casemate, Rivkah Reyes – who played bass player Katie in the film – also shared a video from the wedding on TikTok.

The post was soundtracked by Stevie Nicks’s Edge Of Seventeen, a song which fans of School of Rock will know plays a big part in the film.
Reyes captioned the video: “Celebrating the marriage of Caitlin & Angelo with my forever fam #schoolofrock #wedding.”
Stars of the film Robert Tsai (Lawrence), Maryam Hassan (Tomika), Joey Gaydos Jr (Zack), Cole Hawkins (Leonard), Aleisha Allen (Alicia) and Brian Falduto (Billy, of “you’re tacky and I hate you” fame) all feature in the heartwarming video.
