To celebrate the debut of Nickelodeon's brand-new live-action musical comedy series School of Rock, New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV today chatted to two of the stars of Nick's all-new show - Breanna Yde and Tony Cavalero!:
In the interview, Breanna and Tony talk about their brand-new Nickelodeon show and discuss their music inspirations! Breanna also reveals that she played Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" on her guitar when she auditioned for her role on School of Rock, and Tony reveals that he was a soldier at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) when he was younger!
In Nickelodeon's brand-new live-action musical comedy series School of Rock, the gifted students of William B. Travis Prep School are in for the lesson of a lifetime!
When their teacher of a unique group of rule-abiding prep school students suffers an unfortunate skateboarding spill, Mr. Finn, a down-on-his-luck musician, steps in and poses as their substitute teacher. At first, the overachieving and rule-following kids are rather unimpressed, but little do the students know - their new substitute actually rocks!

Their new teacher, Dewey Finn, uses rock n' roll to ignite their inner expression, and with their talents combined, this class of classically-trained musicians forms a band complete with headbanging beats and face-melting solos. But if they want to live the rock star life, they'll have to band together and keep the whole thing a secret.
With Mr. Finn's help, they'll discover that working together isn't just cool, it rocks! Throughout the school year, these middle-school classmates find themselves navigating relationships, discovering their unknown talents and learning lessons on loyalty and friendships. Episodes will include musical performances by the cast! School of Rock is inspired by the hit movie of the same name.
