She's also appeared in the Broadway musicals "Blood Brothers," "Les Miserables," "Hairspray," and "Little Shop Of Horrors."

Her film and television credits include "Borough of Kings," "Campfire Stories," "One Life to Live," "Second Honeymoon" starring Roma Downey, "Sesame Street," "Hometown," "Another World" and the pilot "Twins," as well as several live performances on national television shows.

Butler has appeared on the NBC series "Lipstick Jungle" which stars Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price.
