@marcosvalenca Miller thought she was a singer, but she wasn't.

Better than Ann Miller's version!

Ms Paige is just dandy. She's unique in the role, more hysterical than I needed, but she wakes things up a bit.
Ms. Gray - some pipes, I have to say. Not a jot of self-pity (one assumes this is how she played the role on stage). I did keep wanting to jump up there and push her along, but that's some voice.

@tightlygagged i can't speak about Paige's performance on Broadway. I did see her in Piaf and Sunset Boulevard however and she was extraordinary. The Piaf performance was, quite simply, the most powerful one woman tour de force I've ever seen. I saw both Gray and Kitt in Follies in the West End and they were both good in their own very unique ways. But from what I've seen (on Youtube) of Paige in Follies I think she does a good job (although I would have preferred her as Sally).

@jemb2000. You are absolutely correct, my apologies. I saw the original London cast and the take overs. Gray was far better in my opinion.

I am amazed :'D
She played Carlotta in the London production at the Shaftesbury Theatre, she took over from Eartha Kitt who was in the original cast.

@BigglesWatch Actually, the reverse is true. Dolores Gray originated the role in the London production. Eartha Kitt succeeded Gray in the role.

Does anybody know- what production she played Carlotta?
I saw her in the London production in the late eighties, but I cannot find what BWay production. . .
