Twenty-two years later, the legend of School of Rock remains way hardcore, with two of its child stars grown up and married.
Caitlin Hale and Angelo Massagli, who played Marta and Frankie, respectively, in the 2003 comedy, tied the knot last weekend with several of their costars in attendance to celebrate.
Rivkah Reyes, who played Katie, posted a video from the wedding via TikTok, which included their “classmates” Brian Falduto, Joey Gaydos Jr., Robert Tsai, Maryam Hassan, Aleisha Allen and Cole Hawkins.
“Celebrating the marriage of CAITLIN & ANGELO with my forever fam,” she captioned the video, aptly set to Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” the same song Principal Mullins (Joan Cusack) performed in the movie.

Fans in the comments both celebrated the exciting news and paid tribute to the group’s costar Kevin Clark, who died in 2021 after being struck by a car.
“Sad Kevin is missing but he’s playing drums in heaven for the reception!!” one fan commented.
School of Rock starred Jack Black as Dewey Finn, a failed guitarist turned substitute teacher who inspires a class of elementary school students to secretly form a band. The group covertly practices during school hours to prepare for Battle of the Bands, where they eventually perform in front of Mullins and their parents, who are outraged at Dewey’s deception before being overcome with pride in their children’s performance.
After the film wrapped, the cast stayed in touch through a group chat, though Massagli, 32, and Hale, 33, didn’t start dating until Hale happened to move near Massagli’s home in Florida. They have been together since 2016 and finally went public with their relationship in 2021 after fans discovered a TikTok of the two of them together.
Massagli recalled being impressed with Hale from the time they met during the audition process, speaking to Inside Edition about their relationship later that year.

“I remember my first audition for School of Rock like it was yesterday,” he said. “I get in there and the little blonde girl next to me, she gets called in first and she starts singing show tunes and just blows the roof off the place. It was excellent.”
Massagli told The New York Times that Hale even changed the lyrics to her song, a rendition of “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” to be about the film’s director. He had to follow her, and for his audition, he performed the only song he knew the words to: “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne.
“I was like, ‘Wow, that girl’s really, really, really something else,’” Massagli said.
The couple has long since stepped away from acting, with Massagli now a lawyer and Hale an OB-GYN ultrasound technologist.
