Tribunal
The cast of students delivers powerful performances. Some members of the cast, playing multiple roles, cascade from character to character so convincingly, you can only believe they’re the same person because the program tells you so. Natalie Martzial is the girl you hate as Hannelore’s diehard mother, and love as American legal secretary Sally.

Twelfth Night

Mazuroski’s cast really pulled off the show. The cast members kept it light and upbeat with perfect timing and quick pacing...Natalie Martzial’s Olivia was passionate and earnest.

Hans: My Hedgehog

It is a wild ride that is a testament to how a dedicated theatre company can take an imaginative story and make the audience feel like they are at a sold-out Broadway show. The entire cast is versatile and talented. With just a few accessories and changing posture, accent and speech patterns, Natalie Martzial, Soleidy Mendez, Laura Murphy, Jack Quint and Harrison Santana each believably portray a multitude of characters as they relate the tale of Hans.​ Narrator Natalie Martzial opens the show.

Much Ado About Nothing

The players are young but they were brilliantly talented and they were clearly having a blast with the words and the farcical story. The show was all energy and language. You can’t help but think that this is the raw, living Shakespeare, the way it was meant to play...in the hands of people who love every word.

RENT
Nikita Jones and Natalie Martzial are audience favorites as Joanne and Maureen. Their duet “Take Me or Leave Me” is a highlight of the show, as is Martzial's interpretation of “Over the Moon.” These ladies are attention-grabbing.

The Spitfire Grill

Martzial is spectacular in the lead role, carrying much of the show. Her gift for singing becomes apparent with her opening song, “A Ring Around the Moon,” and is reinforced with her duet with Bezeredi (“This Wide Woods”) and her uplifting solo “Shine.” Her aptitude for acting is palpable, and she delivers a no-nonsense kind of character with a deep underlying vulnerability.

50 Years: A Musical Commemoration

The meat of the show is definitely in the musical pieces. A solid rendition of “Something’s Coming” from “West Side Story” was featured early, performed by Shonk, immediately followed by an impressive performance of the song “Roxie,” from “Chicago” staged by Natalie MartzialMartzial was joined by Joseph Alvey for “Money” from “Cabaret,” one of this reviewer’s favorite songs.

Gemini

​This season, the students and faculty at Youngstown State University have delivered hit after hit. To follow successes such as “Rent” and “Broke-ology,” the university is now showing “Gemini,” a boisterous play that follows the “don’t miss” trend of the season. Natalie Martzial creates a Lucille Pompi, girlfriend to Fran, that is a cross between Fran Dreshcer and Marge Simpson.

GodSpell

Natalie Martzial contributes the perfect balance of humor and wholesome sexiness to “Turn Back, O Man,” interacting easily with the audience and giving all of us a new appreciation for the classic feather boa.
