Do you want to build a snowman - again? According to reviews of a pre-Broadway staging of Disney's new musical Frozen, the answer is largely yes.
Based on the hit 2013 animated feature, the musical has opened in Denver ahead of its New York launch in February.
Directed by Britain's Michael Grandage, the show is a loose adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen.
And according to Variety critic Lisa Kennedy, the results are both "crisp and original".
"The musical's reported development budget of $25m [£18.3m] to $30m [£22m] has been well-spent," she writes.
"The creators have added heft and gravitas without making the story darker or scarier... [and] the ensemble sings beautifully."
