Wow when I first read the discussion about Richard Kline, I thought you guys were talking about Richard Kind, so I grabbed my November playbill and straightened myself out. The producers would be total idiots to have the understudy cover the role for him, I had no idea who he was. Three's Company isn't exactly a source you would want to mine for Broadway gold, just look at Suzanne Somers.
Anyway, because of the phrasing of the announcement I would assume that the producers are searching for a replacement. Allow me to make a suggestion: Alec Baldwin. Although I'm not sure how well starting in mid-July would work with his 30 Rock shooting schedule. I'm pretty sure the show is shot completely in NY, so it might not be out of the question.
EDIT- November does have student rush, available two hours before curtain. I just noticed this on telecharge. "1 ticket per valid ID for students 25 and under". They are the standard 26.50.
