Pick a show: Tommy/Gatsby/W4E/outsiders

Would love any recommendations. Trying to narrow it down for two shows that I have time for on a Tuesday and Wednesday matinee. Right now kind of leaning towards Tommy and W4E just because of timing. But would love some opinions if Gatsby or Outsiders should be seen instead.
(the other shows I’ll be seeing are Sweeney, Merrily and Cabaret). Thanks

Tommy for sure.

Another vote for Tommy.

I’d like to throw in Great Gatsby. Saw it out of town, beautiful musical. I think it’s worth it and I believe they do Monday night shows if you can squeeze it in?

Tommy and The Outsiders.

Three are based on books and some of the others have a degree of "star" casting. Do you have any particular attachment to the properties or the actors involved? Do you want to see a show that's like the other shows you're seeing or something different as a palate cleanser?

Saw 3 of the four this weekend. I would definitely see The Outsiders. Water for Elephants while not fantastic, I enjoyed, but it was a “glad I saw it, don’t need to see it again.” I hated Tommy and would have walked out had a group of 12 not been with us. But I have never been a fan of The Who or the album back when it was a hit or the first Broadway run.

In order of my personal preference:

Tommy

Water For Elephants

Outsiders

Gatsby

Only other potential variable: If Illinoise is running during your visit, I would ABSOLUTELY choose that. The show is fantastic. According to the boards, we should expect an announcement about Illinoise's Broadway run tomorrow.
