Wolf Hall, as someone said below, is a long play. Nicholas Nickleby was an event, blazingly theatrical, alive every moment, using every tool and style of theater. The actors engaged with the audience, coming down the aisles and speaking to us at the beginning of each part. I remember the standing ovation that the company received when they took the stage for the beginning of Part 2. One of the most heartfelt and deserved that I have ever been a part of, it went on for minutes. I note that the great Edward Petherbridge, who created the gentle but resolute Newman Noggs, will be back in NY this summer with his one-man show about recovering from a stroke. Suzanne Bertish, who was the villainous but comical Fanny Squeers, is often seen on our stages and I always feel an outpouring of affection when I see her. And I hope soon to see Nicholas Nickleby himself, Roger Rees, in his current Broadway incarnation...
