Ariana Grande and Josh Gad Join Voice Cast of Warner Bros. Animation's OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! From Dr. Seuss
Ariana Grande (Wicked) and Josh Gad (Frozen) are set to star in Warner Bros. Animation’s upcoming adaptation of Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, from director Jon M. Chu, who directed Grande in the Wicked films.
Published in 1990, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is one of Dr. Seuss’ most beloved and enduring works. The whimsical work follows a young protagonist, standing in for the reader, as they venture out into the world, encountering a range of experiences, both positive and negative, as we all do in life.
Chu will share the vision for the film with co-director Jill Culton, and the film is slated for release in IMAX on March 17, 2028. Rob Lieber adapted the script from Dr. Seuss’ final book, with Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Gregg Taylor producing. La La Land’s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are creating original songs for the big-screen adaptation.
Coming off her first Oscar nomination for her role as Glinda in the Chu-directed Universal musical Wicked, Grande will reprise the role in the sequel Wicked: For Good, out November 21. She was most recently tapped to join the next installment of the Meet the Parents franchise opposite Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller.
Gad’s upcoming projects include Amazon’s Spaceballs sequel, where he’ll star and produce, as well as Paramount’s Adulthood and Disney’s Frozen 3.
