If it seems hard for many of us this season to count our blessings, Short North Stage’s sentimental and satirical new holiday musical makes it a little easier.
In a pandemic-dominated year of unexpected difficulties, great anxieties and widespread suffering, the amusing and touching world premiere of “Quarantine With the Clauses” offers a reminder of our resilience and how family and community can help us appreciate a Christmas “like none other.”
The company commissioned off-Broadway author-lyricist Mark Waldrop (“When Pigs Fly”, Radio City Christmas Spectacular ) and composer Jeff Lodin to create a timely holiday show for Columbus and they’ve delivered a winner, perfectly attuned to this season and moment.
