If there is a standby (there isn’t always), they automatically go on first. U/S are next after that if the S/B cannot go on or the production doesn’t have S/B.
His understudy posted that he would be performing in Santino's role through Monday, September 30th. I don't know if the person above me has information that I don't (it would certainly make sense and be understandable for him to take two weeks), but as far as I'm able to find from any reputable sources, he seems expected to return Tuesday, October 1st.
No disrespect to his understudy/standby and I understand the importance of paternity leave, but I selfishly have my fingers crossed that he is back in for the October 4th performance. Regardless, I’ve seen my share of understudies, swings, and standbys over the years and have never been disappointed.

I guess you didn't see Mitzie Welch when she went on for Carol Burnett on FADE OUT/FADE IN. Ugh!

Not the understudy, the standby. The link is in the second post in the thread. (And he's the one who went on when Fontana missed a show in June, so he has some stage time in the role under his belt.)

Whoops, yeah that's what I meant to type actually. The link to his standby's Instagram is the post I was referring to actually.
Seems I was lucky to see Santino on his last night. He was very good and lovely at the stage door. I also got to meet Nick Spangler (he left through another door, not the main stage door) and he was really sweet and charming. Having seen him in so many shows, and The Amazing Race, it was lovely to meet him and get a picture with him.
