I read this in her playbill interview:

Question: How have you been able to combine motherhood and doing eight shows a week?
Butler: I think I'm finally getting the swing of it, now that my daughter is five — it only took like four years! [Laughs.] She's older now, so it's easier. She loves to come to the theatre. I try and do shorter contracts or else get time off from the show. This time I didn't get any days off from the show. But if I work for six months, then six months I'll be able to tuck her in bed. That's kind of the deal I worked out with my family. It's exciting for her to come to the theatre. She loves it.

Does this mean she'll be leaving in October or November, probably? Do we think the show will still be on by then? Who would you pick to take over?

I hope her understudy, Alex Ellis replaces her. She's phenomenal.
