We haven’t seen this one before, but we may have been here! We’ve Been Here Before: A One-Woman Musical written by and starring Lindsey Kraft will make its New York stage premiere off-Broadway for a two-week engagement from Aug. 4 to Aug. 17 at SoHo Playhouse. The musical was created by, written, and stars Kraft, with music direction by Ben Folds.
We’ve Been Here Before: A One-Woman Musical follows 40-year-old Liv, who is co-dependent and about to have a mid-life awakening spawned by the insatiable urge to write music. She has no prior experience, but learns to play piano while starting a relationship with a secret online confidant. Through raw, original music about family secrets, unspoken truths, and the courage to stand alone, she is led out of woods she didn’t even realize she was in.
Kraft is best known for her 20 years as a screen actor, performing in Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, HBO’s Getting On, and most recently, Apple TV’s, The Shrink Next Door opposite Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Her musical We’ve Been Here Before earned 5-star reviews in front of sold-out audiences at Adelaide’s 2026 Fringe Festival in its workshop form. We’ve Been Here Before chronicles her discovery of music and songwriting as an adult, and the self-honesty that can be learned from brutally honest creativity. In Lindsey’s words, “the songs knew the truth before I did!”
Kraft, as Liv, is joined onstage by music director Folds and musician Dan Rudin. The musical is co-directed by Kraft and Machel Ross.
We’ve Been Here Before: A One-Woman Musical runs at the SoHo Playhouse on 15 Vandam Street in New York City from Aug. 4 to 17. For tickets and more information, visit here.
