Definitely no tuba. 2 trumpets, 2 horns, and BASS trombone (no tenor, which surprised me). I was disappointed to not find tuba in the pit, but each instrument plays with a certain color required by the different songs and I think they got along just fine without it. However, more and more pit orchestras are relying on too much synthesized sound which makes the background music a little too chintzy for my tastes.
