Help me pick a show for next week

I have a whole week of Broadway planned and I have one or two last slots to fill for next week. What would you choose between: Shucked, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Some Like It Hot, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, or seeing Sleep No More for a second time?

I love Alex Newell but I'm not sure if the rest of Shucked appeals to me. I don't mind corny jokes, but I've heard the songs are dull? I saw Mr Saturday Night last year and I found the jokes fun for the most part, but the story elements were meh and songs were just a drag, and I'm worried this would be similar.

I've seen the filmed version of Peter Pan Goes Wrong so I initially counted this one out, but I've been rethinking that because I do think it might be fun to see some of the original cast, and I found out the filmed version is about an hour shorter so there will be material that I haven't seen.

I've listened to some songs from Some Like It Hot and wasn't enthused by them, but I'm not counting it out. I might wait to listen to more when the album comes out at the end of this week.

I know nothing about The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart but I usually like immersive-y experiences.

And then my backup is just seeing Sleep No More again. I know I liked it, so it's a safe choice, but it's also more expensive than everything else in my list since I'm planning to TKTS/lotto/rush them.

(New York, New York is also a possibility depending on the early reviews)

Since you like immersive and you are familiar with the sort of experience one has at the McKitrick, I'd suggest PRUDENCIA HART, which we enjoyed immensely and is theatrical to the hilt.
