What show have you seen or been a part of that makes it refer to it as trash?

Not myself personally, but have had several friends do Big League tours. The mistreatment of actors, forcing them to go on injured or sick due to lack of swings/understudies. Doing ten shows in 6/7 cities in one week.

Is this still happening? I see they just announced the cast for the An American in Paris tour but there is no mention of South Pacific.

The situation was just that people were shocked the first national tour of a pretty major revival would go out non-equity.

The Big League American in Paris scenic package, as it was before the shut-down, is 90% projection, with some assorted tables/chairs/small physical pieces. I'd assume South Pacific is also going to be 90% projection, and made to work with some of the same physical pieces.
