| It's my understanding that it is Tammy Grimes. | |

| To my ear it sounds much more like Brown's voice than Grimes. But why would you think it's not actually Regine singing? She's listed online as a Belgium born French singer and nightclub performer with a listing of her top fifteen songs she was noted for. Has it been printed anywhere that she was in fact dubbed? | |

| I couldn't find anything in print that stated cabaret artiste Regine was dubbed. It was that I had recently been listening to my Georgia Brown /Kurt Weill record and a light bulb went off, but I have no info other than my hunch-by-ear and that Georgia Brown was on set playing Mrs Freud, | |

| Regine also sang "Ah, Paris!" as Solange in FOLLIES when it played the Kennedy Center in 2011 but didn't travel with the cast to New York (or Los Angeles). Thus it's possible she might've had an association with Sondheim going way back. She's not listed on the movie dubbers sight either for the film. Btw, Brown's Weill album has been a personal favorite since my childhood. | |

| LOL I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who preferred Regine's interpretation of the role to Mary Beth Peil's, when the production came to New York. Despite the Gallic authenticity that Regine brought (she's actually Belgian, but most of her career seems to have been in France), nothing about her portrayal of Solange worked, including "Ah, Paris." But I give Eric Schaeffer credit for trying...she might have been brilliant and launched a whole new career in America. Remember, it was in DC that he also let Linda Lavin have a go at playing Hattie as a sophisticated glamourpuss, another choice that just didn't work, as much as I love Lavin. For what it's worth, Mary Beth Peil also benefited from a new and better staging of her number in New York and made a huge impact with it. |
