I saw both. I stood for Nickelby--all eight hours. It was great, though. A muffin went right by me. The mix of all different styles of theater--epic theater, story theater, straight drama and comedy. Plus all those great characters. It was one of my first Broadway plays, and one of the best. Maybe my youth and memory are combining to make it better, but I don't think so. I really liked Wolf Hall too. Much different from Nickelby. Wolf Hall is two very good long plays--though not as long as some say--I've seen stories that say it is 8 hours. It's 6 and especially in part II, it is riveting. Each could stand alone, but I am glad I saw both I hear The Cider House Rules was great at the Atlantic, but I missed that. And I think they did another Dickens--Hard Times(?)
