Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The TV monitor is there so that the actors can see the conductor from various places on stage!. It's the same with opera!. Sometimes there are 3 monitors- stage left, stage right, and center- but attached to the balcony or up high!. Ever wonder how the singers are watching the conductor when they're looking in another direction!? That's how!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably so the actors know their cues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
