"Tanglin' Hearts" : Country Western Musical Takes Shakespeare to the Woodshed,
Tanglin’ Hearts is a big, fun, and funny LIVE musical comedy about love and longing, betrayal and loyalty, families and greed. This run is the show's East Coast premiere. Loosely based on AS YOU LIKE it and true to Shakespeare’s comedies, Tanglin’ Hearts features mistaken identity, falling in love with the wrong person, good guys and bad guys.
While laugh-out-loud funny, underlying satirical themes address the power of strong, independent women, our mutual responsibility for and connection to the land, and the unparalleled beauty of a simple country life.
This show is The Waldo’s most ambitious production in years with a cast of 10 hugely talented actors/singers, a live band, Texas-inspired choreography, and 16 original songs.
The cast for this rollicking comedy includes Nick Azzaretti, Soren Barker, Honora Boothby, Katie Fearn, Carole Florman, Cameron Kinney, Niall Lessard, Skip Simonds, Mallory Smith-Adams, and Stephen Wallace.
Book and lyrics are by actress, playwright, and Edgecomb resident Zora Margolis with music by Peter Spelman. Tanglin’ Hearts promises to be a fun and funny, toe tappin’ good time for audiences of all ages.
The play is being directed by Lynna Henderson with musical direction by Guy Scott and choreography by Niall Lessard.
Tanglin’ Hearts is co-produced at The Waldo by George Bates and Zora Margolis.

What's the Buzz? About the Author
Eleanor Cade Busby: Unpublished, Unfiltered, and Unrepentant
Eleanor Cade Busby is an unpublished award-winning writer, photographer, blogger, and chronic user of the Oxford comma. She simply adores writing about herself in the third person, and therefore considers this bio a personal highlight of her literary career.
-
Writing from Midcoast Maine, where the air is salty, the coffee is strong, and the opinions come with footnotes.
A preacher’s kid who made it her mission to lovingly obliterate every single stereotype about “the minister’s daughter,” Busby grew up all over New England collecting stories, theater programs, and at least three kinds of student loan debt. She attended Goddard College, the Rhode Island Conservatory of Music, and the School of Life—majoring in everything she could wedge into her skull without a crowbar.
She has had her own office (with an actual door!) and a red stapler that was not to be touched, thank you very much. She has worked in social services for decades, won both national and local awards, and was recently named a co-recipient of the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award—along with one million of her closest friends—for being loud in the best way possible.
Busby has directed more plays than she can count, acted in more than she should probably admit, and written a few too—including some that were performed on purpose. She’s done everything in theater except hang the lights, because she has a strict “no ladders” clause in her personal safety policy.
Her work has appeared in publications ranging from earnest local weeklies to CRACKED magazine, which pretty much sums up her range. She believes if it isn’t funny or relevant, it probably belongs in a compost heap, not her blog.
Eleanor lives in Midcoast Maine with a cat who believes in early-morning blood sacrifice (hers), and she writes "What's the Buzz?" to chronicle what’s happening, what might be happening, and what absolutely should be happening, according to her and no one else.
