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.

 


 

 

“I attended Gypsy last night with several family members that are staying at the same hotel . I walked them to the elevators and as I was leaving, Audra came in fast and this disgusting, huge, ogre of a man came blasting through the revolving door, nearly falling. He got extremely close to her, shoved a playbill in her face and said "I came alllll the way from Houston so you OWE me an autograph sister". Four security guards from the hotel staff immediately swarmed him until the cops arrived. It was horrifying and women have experienced this kind of illegal, terrifying behavior forever. If you were followed back to where you were staying in the city OP, pretty sure you wouldn't call it "foolery" because it's not. It's felony stalking. Do better. And I will NEVER be quiet regarding women's safety (especially by loser men in this thread) as this has happened to me and millions of other women as well. Enough..” —-Sutton Ross, 8/16/25 “Pretty incredible coincidence that the night before this post was made, Sutton was allegedly not only at Gypsy, but ended up at the same hotel, managed to witness an incident that perfectly aligns with the topic at hand, stayed long enough to see how it resolved despite being with family members, and it wasn’t even the first thing she replied to this thread with- she only brought it up after she had been challenged by multiple members. ” — Kad, 8/16/25

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
