Nick of time

TheStar.com: "When a single production can save two famous theatre companies from extinction, 25 years apart, it must be something truly extraordinary."

It's great that both of those theatre companies were able to save themselves, but it isn't very clear why a show based on a Dickens novel that is over 6 hours long would be a troupe's savior. The article acknowledges that part of the reason Nickleby was successful is because of the quality of the company performing it, but surely there are other plays that can highlight a company better than a six-hour show. I don't see what is so special about Nickleby that couldn't be done with another show.
