Are there any play scores that get performed live these days? Have there ever been union rules etc relating to live performance of play scores?

Yes. In recent years, To Kill a Mockingbird and the most recent revival of The Cherry Orchard featured musicians performing the score live.

I don't know about union rules.

A play that has a prominent music component (as opposed to more of a background score) often has live musicians, I think. One Man, Two Guvnors, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill and Farinelli and the King had live musicians, to cite recent examples.
