We now know that Disney's Frozen is hitting the stage for a musical version of the Oscar-winning movie.

The production will feature the same writers as the film - music and lyrics by husband-and-wife team Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

It will open on Broadway in New York in the spring of 2017.

Released in 2013 the animation is one of the most successful in history, making £880m at the box office.

But can the theatrical version ever be as good? We have two years of worrying ahead...

To ease the angst, we've assessed three key parts of Frozen and whether they will translate to the stage.

Magic, lots of it

Elsa, Princess of Arendelle, possesses cryo-kinetic powers.

She uses it to do things like build castles from ice, animate snowmen and freeze things, relentlessly.

The struggle in the film centres around her ability to control her powers.

We want magic, basically, and we fear it won't be quite as cryo-kinetic on stage as in the movie.

Being chased by wolves

One of the most exciting scenes in the screen version of Frozen is when Anna convinces Kristoff, the iceman, to take her to the North Mountain, the source of winter.

But the journey to the mountain is not easy. They are chased by a pack of wolves, covering a vast mass of the forest.

They jump off a cliff too. Good luck doing that with a front row of children eating Haribo.

Let it Go, let it goooooo!

If you are one of the very few people who hasn't seen Frozen, then you've definitely heard the song.

The soundtrack was the biggest-selling album of 2014, shifting four million more copies than its nearest rival - Taylor Swift's 1989, which sold six million.

And Idina Menzel's version was the fifth biggest-selling single of 2014, with 10.9 million copies shifted.

Since its release in November 2013, Frozen has become a profit-making juggernaut for Disney.

So with those stats in mind, a live stage version of the track is bound to be magnificent. Just please make the magic good.
