The American Prize Winner in Conducting (2019) and Best Actress in a Musical by Boston Broadway Awards (Anita, West Side Story), she has been celebrated as “the one to watch, and, an unmatchable and dynamic force who engages in each moment to the fullest. Her presence on stage is palpable.” (My Theater World Boston).

An actress in Los Angeles, Marini has gained a reputation for her “commitment, inspired motivations, vulnerability, and daring” (Dr. Marylin Winkle, LA Camerata).  Of her work in Madwomen Part II at the City Garage Theatre in Santa Monica, Dr. Raymond Knapp, (Distinguished Professor of Musicology and Humanities UCLA) wrote, “Marini is the most moving part of the production, in part for her daring to give up beauty for rawness.”
