I would say -
Wicked - Broom
Phantom - Chandelier (Does that count as a prop?) and if it doesnt then the Boat.
Avenue Q - Puppets (Obviously)
Blood Brothers - The Gun.

The boat would be a set piece too... I'd say the mask comes closer, though some might say it's a costume piece.
RENT - Candle and camera.

when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

Another one that's not playing anymore: The hat in THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA.
The Grail in SPAMALOT.
The record player in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, if that counts as a prop.

From what I understand, things like the Model-T in Ragtime, the Wizard Head in Wicked, the coffin in Sweeney Todd, etc. would be considered set pieces.
Generally, "if it's bigger than a bread box", then it's part of the set.

Wicked: hat
Evita: the banners and signs carried on during "A New Argentina"
Funny Girl: blue marble egg
Big: the ring Josh gives Susan when she sleeps over
Carrie: the bucket of blood

I wonder about big things like the "Wizard" and the Model T, I mean they are props but they're more like set pieces.
But in ways they are still props.
Take Audry II for instance:
Even past Feed Me it is probably considered a prop
In it's final stage its humongus and takes over half of the stage, but I think it would still count as a prop.

Sometimes it is a fine line between "prop" and "set piece." I've actually seen the matter discussed at rehearsals--"Should this be handled by the set designer or the props master?" Generally though, stuff that you can sit on, lay on, drive, etc. is a set piece, as are especially large objects that are permanantly fixed to the set (like a table or piano). Smaller objects (especially those that are held by a character) are props. Also, the props master will often handle the set decorations as well (i.e. a vase of flowers on the table).
But these are just general guidelines...also, things like the Audrey II puppett, the chandelier in "Phantom" and the helicopter in "Miss Saigon" would probably go under the "special effects" category and be handled by a seperate person/department entirely.

I was also wondering if the mask in Phantom should be considered part of the costume rather than a prop, though it is kind of used as a prop when it's grabbed off his face.
