In its original 16-year Broadway run (March 12, 1987 - May 18, 2003) the standard pit orchestra for the show included 25 musicians playing the following instruments:
6 Violins
2 Violas
2 Celli
Flute
Piccolo
Clarinet
Oboe
English Horn
2 French Horns
2 Trumpets
2 Piccolo Trumpets
Flugelhorn
Bass Trombone

2 Keyboards
The show's national tour had its own set of 16 musicians that travelled from city to city with the show. Instruments included:
2 French Horns
2 Trumpets
Bass Trombone
Flute
Piccolo
2 Clarinets
2 Alto Saxophones
Oboe

The tour did not travel with a string section--they were played on keyboards instead. However, Equity required the hiring of local musicians for engagements longer than 2 weeks in any given city. They'd hire a varying additional number of musicians, depending on the city and their needs, but they'd usually hire 4 string players; 2 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello, for these longer runs, bringing the total number of musicians up to 20.
The 2006 Broadway revival featured new orchestrations which required 14 musicians playing the following instruments:
Violin
Viola
Cello
Double Bass
2 French Horns
Tuba
Bass Trombone
Trumpet
Flugelhorn
Clarinet
Alto Recorder
Tenor Recorder
Oboe
English Horn
Flute
Alto Flute
Piccolo
Mallets
Timpani
