Ariana Grande is set to work with “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu again!

Warner Brothers on Instagram announced that Ariana and "Frozen" star Josh Gad are starring in the animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”

It will be directed by Chu and Jill Culton, and will feature original songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the songwriters behind “The Greatest Showman,” “La La Land,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” and more.
