"Trudy Carmichael (Robin Rothman) is now on my Olympic Pantheon of Improvers. Not only is she improvising a full one woman show she’s creating full songs with the help of Frankie Keys (played by Frank Spitznagel). When you think of improv you normally think funny but this was absolutely hilarious. A lot of the humor comes from Rothman’s quick wit. More often than not it came from her complete dedication to her character."
- The Young-Howse Theater Journal

​

“Trudy” can deftly transform “Bananas by the Cabana” into a quasi-Caribbean near-samba. The Lonely Lumberjack” chopping along, builds sexual tension. “Bling Bling, Love That Ring,” a comment on her bejeweled hands, becomes a very-Dolly-Parton country-pop tune. It doesn’t matter what you throw at her, she knocks it out of the park.” - (Fresno Rogue Festival) - Kings River Life Magazine

"Trudy Carmichael is a legend. Generations of musical improvisers have striven to emulate her rhyme schemes, her clever turns of phrase, and her sultry voice- but no one has tried to follow her wild lifestyle, because they would surely die. Slightly less wild but no less talented is her actress, Robin Rothman, who has been touring the NYC stages for more than a decade. Don’t miss it!"  - Meshblog.com

"Robin Rothman as Trudy Carmichael is just full of humor, light, and energy." - LocalTheaterNY.com

 

"Coming to you live from her stylish Las Vegas living room, Trudy Carmichael (aka Robin Rothman) is a gifted musical improviser, which is one of the most impressive skills." - Cherryandspoon.com
