I'm having a conversation yesterday with a good buddy who's a Local One broadway head prop-person. He's describing some of the stuff needed for an upcoming (and not named here) show that he's head on.
Seems there's a functional tub, complete with hot water, etc... so needs a hot water heater, Ph checked, etc... and that according to Broadway rules, it fall's under the responsibility of the electrics department, not props. Something about because the tub gets a hot water heater, which requires electricity, it's electrics, where as if it got plumbing to the building hot water system (which is never done apparently) it would be props.
Odd Broadway rule that I thought I'd share.
