A technicality: I think you have to count the barber chair as part of the
set.  That thing is a little too big and functional to be considered
just a prop.  But then again, who reaaly know what's actually part of
the set and what's just a prop?  The distinction is fuzzy.

All of this leads me to a slightly amusing story.  I recently saw an
incredibly good production of "Sweeney" put on by the student theater
group at Snodfart University.  They were using the compressed air that 
is intended to run shop tools for the trap door under the chair and
also for the factory whistle.  When they first tried it, they realized 
that they didn't have it hooked up quite right because they blew the
whistle and one of the actors almost fell through the suddenly open
trap door.
