"The Hit, by Mike Buckley, is a fun romantic-comedy that centers on a woman who hires a hit man to kill her. Mistaken identities, confusion, budding romances, and an assassin with communication problems make for a funny and charming comical romp. Hale Centre Theatre's production features warm and winning performances, sharp direction, and excellent creative elements. Buckley has crafted a fun and interesting comedy. However, while the characters are original and intriguing, and there are some fun twists in the show, it is fairly predictable....Tim Dietlein's direction is fresh and sharp, and his cast are all gifted comics who derive laughs with good comic timing while also creating realistic characters. Alaina Beauloye...is wonderful as Susan....Hannah Brudnock delivers a winning performance as Samm...While The Hit may suffer from a fairly formulaic and predictable plot and romances that are quickly realized, with a wonderful cast and superb creative elements, Hale's production is charming, comical, and deliciously engaging." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
