Has anyone else seen the new tour of South Pacific yet? I saw it on Tuesday evening in Blackpool and the cast were fabulous.... Helena Blackman was a dream to watch perform, so pleased to see her performing again and in a role that she's great in... perfect comic timing and a dream voice. The rest of the cast are also brilliant. If you haven't seen it, I'd suggest you try and see it as it travels.

What's the Orchestra like? Is it a decent size and with some strings?

There was a band of 8 and I heard strings although not quite sure if they were live or click-tracked as I was sat away without a view of the orchestra pit. However, the sound was very good and well balanced.
