Here she is, boys. Here she is, world. Here's E. Faye Butler as Mama Rose in GYPSY. Butler commands the Porchlight stage with a presence that's both larger-than-life and also at the same time a deeply revealing character study.

Butler seems to live and breathe this role; she does not appear to be acting but rather fully inhabiting this iconic character.
