‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’ Is a Classic Children’s Book

Oh, the Places You’ll Go! was the final book published by Dr. Seuss (real name Theodor Seuss Geisel) before his death in September 1991 at age 87. In the book, a narrator describes a person making a decision to leave town and embark on a new journey. Throughout the journey, they come across unfamiliar sights, including “The Waiting Place,” a space where people simply wait for something to happen.

Grande will be working with director Jon M. Chu in the animated film. The pair have been on quite the journey together since the smash success of 2024’s Wicked, which Chu directed and starred Grande as Glinda.

“She came in, and it was mesmerizing,” Chu told IndieWire in November 2024 of seeing the pop star audition for the role. “In fact, we brought her in not once, not twice, I want to say four or five times. Every time she came in, she went deeper.”

Additionally Oh, the Places You’ll Go! will be codirected by Jill Culton.
