Two Days, Five Slots, Six Shows. Which one goes?

I am going to be in nyc overnight later this month and while some shows are locked in, I now am struggling to decide on what the final slots should go to. 
 

I basically am deciding between Maybe Happy Endings, Our Town (on stage seating - I like immersive seating like this) or Hills of California. 

The following day I have SH*T. Meets. Fan. Oh, Mary and Gypsy just for reference. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Our Town goes. They’ll be plenty of opportunities to see it (and see it done better) in the future.

Keep Maybe Happy Ending. For me it's a tossup between Our Town and Hills of California.

I do think there will be other revivals of Our Town someday but if you are super excited for the onstage immersive seating experience, then watch Our Town.

Hills of California somehow reminded me of Gypsy. Since you are seeing the Gypsy revival the next day, then it may be good to see Hills of California the day before and compare/contrast.

Having seen all three on your chopping block, Our Town is an easy nix.

I agree on Our Town getting the axe.  I can't say I've personally sat in the onstage seating so maybe someone will have a different experience, but to me it didn't seem all that immersive and that you just happened to be sitting on stage and seeing everything from a side view.

Don't nix Maybe Happy Ending. It's wonderful, and the best reviewed show in years. But sadly/likely won't be around long. See it while you can.

Absolutely go see Maybe Happy Ending! I was so surprised by it. The performance was really incredible and sweet, it’ll undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on you. I already have tickets to see it again next month and am bringing my whole family! I don’t want anyone one I know (or don’t know) to miss out on this wonderful show
