DRS Playbill listing question#0

I was reading the Playbill for "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and I was wondering--for Timothy J. Alex, it says that he is in the ensemble and also the understudy for Freddy and Andre, but it also lists him as "Conductor." What is "Conductor" referring to?

Oh, thanks, Edge! I feel so dumb. There I was thinking he was the actual conductor's understudy!!

That's okay Mimi. Actually one night I saw Greg Graham was going on for The Conductor, and I did think to myself...wow, I didn't know in addition to choreographing and being a swing, he conducts too! What a talent!
