So having seen Part 1... All I can say is it is SO well done. If you've read plot spoilers and don't like it, I'm sorry. It's absolutely FANTASTIC so far. If you haven't seen it with your own two eyes, I wouldn't pass judgement on it yet. Wait til you read it. Though, I suspect it won't transfer to the page as well as it does to the stage. I think this format was exactly right for it.
