Hello, not-so-young lovers, wherever you are. Do you know what Rodgers and Hammerstein show I’m (sort of) quoting there? Even if you don’t (it’s “The King and I”), you’re likely to have a swell time at “Steve,” a surprisingly serious comedy by Mark Gerrard in which no event is so grave or so trivial that it cannot be annotated with a musical comedy reference. This deliciously well-acted New Group production, which opened under Cynthia Nixon’s assured direction on Wednesday night at the Pershing Square Signature Center, portrays a group of middle-aged gay New Yorkers for whom life was once truly a cabaret. No, make that a piano bar — the kind where, between show tunes, you might lock eyes with someone who’d turn out to be, if not the love of your life, at least the flavor of the night.
