* ''Theatre/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' (2013 musical): The transformative power of imagination.The naughty kids can be seen to represent anyone who spends their life mindlessly consuming and chasing fleeting, empty pleasures -- food (Augustus), possessions (Veruca), fame (Violet), shallow, instant-gratification media (Mike), what have you -- often with dreadful consequences. By comparison, Charlie makes the best of his meager lot in life with the help of his imagination and his loving family, and wants to ''create'' things. This makes him an excellent candidate to inherit the amazing world within the titular factory... a world that we learn sprang up not from a desire for fame and fortune, but an ache to make the world a more colorful, beautiful place in their own way (even if others don't understand it). Put simply: Cultivating one's creativity and sharing it with others is a path to true happiness, a path even the humblest soul can take.
