I have a 90 minute IPA that gets a big addition at 90 and then a smaller addition at 45, then another big addition at flameout. My question is: Can I shorten the boil to 60 minutes and do a first wort addition? How much will this affect the hop character?

Length of boil will be more dependant on the malts you use than the hop timing. We do a 90 minute boil for most of our beers and 60 for a few. We don't hop longer than 60 minutes in our 90 minute boil. For our 90 minute boil we are waiting for 30 minutes before first hops, in our 60 minute boil we add at first boil.
