Though not a musical, the characters in Mark Gerrard's STEVE sure love a good showtune. In fact, every performance includes a pre-show singalong that begins twenty minutes before showtime where cast members, in character, gather around a piano and sing their favorite Broadway hits.

So what showtunes do cast members Malcolm Gets, Jerry Dixon and Ashlie Atkinson request when they visit a piano bar? This fun video may give you a clue.

The New Group presents the world premiere of STEVE, a new play by Mark Gerrard. Directed by Cynthia Nixon. A limited Off-Broadway engagement plays now through January 3rd at The Pershing Square Signature Center.

STEVE features Matt McGrath as Steven, Malcolm Gets as his partner Stephen, Mario Cantone as Steven's best friend Matt, Jerry Dixon as Matt's partner Brian, Ashlie Atkinson as Steven's best friend Carrie, and Francisco Pryor Garat as Esteban.

As Steven, a failed Broadway chorus boy turned stay-at-home dad, celebrates yet another birthday, he finds himself filled with fear and uncertainty. Is Stephen, his partner of 14 years, cheating on him? Why is one of his best friends dying of cancer? And what, exactly, has he done with his life? A portrait of a group of longtime, theater-loving friends as they navigate the many facets of midlife and mortality, Mark Gerrard's STEVE is a biting and bittersweet comedy about relationships and the unavoidable consequences of aging and the passage of time.
