You pull a blanket tighter as the pedicab eases away from Broadway; skyscrapers recede and the Upper East Side’s stone facades lean in like audience members. For two hours you move through set pieces of a show that made Manhattan’s social geography part of pop culture: the Met steps, the Pond, the Plaza’s forecourt, and the ornate doorway of St. James Church.
