Back in April, Playbill On-Line reported that a new five-person revue by John Forster called Both Barrels was headed for Off-Broadway after a run at Connecticut's Goodspeed Opera House, May 6-May 30. Well, now its called A Good Swift Kick, but its still coming to Off-Broadway, the Variety Arts specifically. The revue will begin previews July 13 open on July 29.

The cast features David Naughton ("An American Werewolf in London"), Wanda Houston, Jim Newman (Big) and Elisa Surmont.

The revue plays Goodspeed's second space at the Norma Terris Theatre in Chester, CT, in May.

Forster, who writes both the music and lyrics for the revue, is best known for the book and lyrics to the Mary Rodgers musical Freaky Friday. Recently he was nominated for a Grammy Award as co-producer of Tom Chapin's children's album "In My Hometown." At the Goodman, Kick is described as "20 miniature musical plays" poking fun at a variety of societal topics.

Paul Kreppel will direct Both Barrels, with Steve Orich acting as musical director. --By Robert Simonson
