"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.

About this blog:
What's the Buzz" covers what's happening, what might be happening, and what should be happening in the opinion of the author.
Eleanor Cade Busby is an unpublished award-winning writer, photographer and blogger & simply loves writing about herself in third person.She published this absolutely all true bio.
Busby grew up all over New England,a preacher's kid who set out to destroy every single stereotype about a "Minister's Daughter."
She attended Goddard College, The Rhode Island Conservatory of Music and The School of Life, majoring in everything she could stuff into her head. She once had her own office and a red stapler. Her employees learned quickly never to touch it.
Much of her very long life has been spent on or back-stage at theaters. She penned a couple of plays, directed many more and acted in scores of productions. She's done it all except hanging lighting. You can't make her climb a ladder.
She won awards locally & nationally for social services and customer care. Most recently she was awarded the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award along with 3 million of her closest personal friends for "galvanizing a potent global movement to resist infringements on the rights and dignity of women and many other groups."
Busby has been a theater, art and dance reviewer and commentator for several publications, including CRACKED magazine.
Opinionated, obstinate, much-abused, and under-appreciated, she believes that if it isn't funny or relevant, it isn't worth it.
Eleanor Cade Busby lives in Midcoast Maine with two cats who like to stand on her head at 3 AM demanding a sacrifice, often her sanity.
