Thursday matinee?

I’d be very grateful for advice on this one. I will be in NY next week and have one slot free, the Thursday matinee. I live in London and have seen most things (including Gatsby, both there and here). I am torn between Boop and The Outsiders. I’ll see anything that comes over to the UK, but can only get to NY once or twice per year (circumstances, being what they are, willing). Does anyone have thoughts, both in terms of which one is more likely to transfer to the WE and which is better? (I kind of care about the first question more than the second). Thank you!

Outsiders is much more likely to show up in London. Boop may not be long for NYC, unless it does well at the Tonys. So I'm not sure if it will get a tour. It's been highly discounted since beginning previews. Most people I know who saw it enjoyed it however.

I would be surprised if Outsiders didn’t have a West End production in the near future. Boop may be a sort of flash in the pan - I’d suggest catching it while it’s around as there are some truly remarkable things coming out of a mediocre show.

Thank you both, much appreciated. Boop it is!
