Antiwork musical

I thought I might've seen it already here somewhere, and I know it's a Disney property, but the musical Newsies just embodies antiwork. Specifically songs like Once and for All, and The World Will Know. If you don't know the show is about the 1899 Newboys Strike in New York, where Joseph Pulitzer raised the prices of newspapers so the Newsies formed a union and went on strike for their rights, which helped pave the way for child labor laws in the U.S. Some other shows with similar vibes include Ragtime and Hadestown.
