I think rearranging the show would do far more for it than cutting it. Much of the second act material would have been perfect in the first act, when you want to get to know the characters but get a lot if mood setting. Almost nothing happens for the entire first act. Then the second act comes alive when it really should be wrapping up. I thought the material was mostly great. It just seemed they were following the movie's structure much too closely. Oh, and the creepy narrator needs to go.
