ROKiT from the Musicals

Following last year’s sell-out concert, ROKiT Choir returns with ROKiT From the Musicals, bringing another unforgettable evening to The Exchange. Bigger and better than ever, this year’s show promises all the energy, heart, and entertainment that made the last performance such a huge success. Featuring over 100 singers from one of the area’s fastest-growing independent choirs, the performance will also proudly include the brand new Sturminster Newton ROKiT Choir group—making this a truly special local celebration of music and community. Audiences can look forward to a fantastic selection of songs from some of the most loved musicals around. From the powerful drama of Les Miserable to the feel-good anthems of We Will Rock You, alongside hits from Rock of Ages, Ghost and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. ROKiT are known for their vibrant performances, big sound, and welcoming atmosphere, making this the perfect night out whether you’re a musical theatre enthusiast or simply after some top-quality live entertainment. Adding an extra splash of fun, the evening will also feature special guests Opera-lele—a unique comedy duo combining opera, ukulele, and a brilliantly British sense of humour. Expect laughs, surprises, and something a little bit different. With last year’s show selling out, tickets are expected to go quickly—so don’t miss your chance to be part of another fantastic night of music, laughter, and community spirit.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

A classic family film comes to The Exchange this Summer!! On the brink of perfecting his state-of-the-art matter-shrinking machine, the suburban paterfamilias and indefatigable inventor, Professor Wayne Szalinski, realizes that his device truly works, when it zaps both his kids and next-door neighbors' sons. Now, to return to the relative safety of their home while being reduced to a mere quarter-inch size, they must venture out into the dense and perilous landscapes of their now-immense backyard: a hostile environment where nearly everything spells trouble. Can they exit the green maze of grass in one piece?
