The 2008 school show was "Chess", performed solely by students. Unlike previous years a 'Gala Night' was organised by the Business and Enterprise group for specially invited guests and staff. In March 2009 the school put on "Seussical" as the annual school show. This show celebrated the works of Dr. Seuss, famous for his creation of the "Grinch" and "Green Eggs and Ham". The 2010 production was "Hairspray". Woodkirk was the first school to perform the musical, the amateur license having just been released. The 2011 production was the musical "We Will Rock You", a tribute to Queen, and in March 2012, "Beauty and the Beast". More recent performances have included "The Phantom of the Opera" (2013), "Starlight Express" (2014), "The Addams Family" (2015) and "Ghost" (2016) with three of them being officially reviewed by the Organisation NODA with great praise.
