In an interview for Playbill Radio, Stroman said that she and librettist John Weidman — her collaborator on the Tony-winning musical Contact — are currently working on a piece for Lincoln Center Theater entitled Happiness. The Grey Gardens team — composer Scott Frankel and lyricist Michael Korie — is penning the show's score.

"We'll have a reading in the spring, and hopefully the production will happen in the fall," Stroman told Playbill Radio's Robert Viagas. When asked whether Happiness is a dance show, Stroman said, "It has dance in it, but it's not primarily a dance show like Contact."
