“Finally, in a masterclass of comic versatility, Desiree Mee Jung tackles the role of Tong’s mother as well as a military translator, a free-love hippy and any other parts that needs filling in this constantly moving memory-scape.”

– TARRA GAINES, PAPERCITY
VIETGONE at THE ALLEY THEATRE
“Tong’s mother Huong (Desiree Mee Jung) provide superb comic relief throughout the show.”

– JESSICA GOLDMAN, HOUSTON PRESS
VIETGONE at THE ALLEY THEATRE
“However it’s Desirée Mee Jung as Margaret, the youngest of the three Dashwood sisters, who largely steals the show with her childlike reactions to the goings on”

– Jordan R. Young
SENSE & SENSIBILITY at SOUTH COAST REP
“…comic gem Desirée Mee Jung…”

– BROADWAY WORLD
SENSE & SENSIBILITY at SOUTH COAST REP
“Standouts in the cast include Jung, who creates so many layers of longing and subtle jealousy in Celia that when she finally finds her own happily ever after moment, it’s the most triumphant of the night.”

“Swale has filled out the character of Margaret, the youngest Dashwood sister, to provide steady laughs, and Desiree Mee Jung delivers them.”

– MARGARET GRAY, LA TIMES
SENSE & SENSIBILITY at SOUTH COAST REP
“Jung’s Celia is a pertly amusing sidekick, the Ethel to Rosalind’s Lucy. When Celia bellows to her downcast cousin, “Be merry,” the imperious implication (“Or else!”) is uttered more out of pain than aggression but hilarious all the same.”

– CHARLES MCNULTY, LA TIMES

“The best of these earlier scenes are comic turns – particularly the moments featuring Desiree Mee Jung as the mother of Tong. Her timing and Nguyen’s witty lines are sharp.”

– THE COURIER
VIETGONE at THE ALLEY THEATRE
“…Desirée Mee Jung is the heart and soul of this production playing LuLing”

– JERALD PIERCE, SEATTLE TIMES
BONESETTER’S DAUGHTER at BOOK-IT REP
"…the script gave Desirée Mee Jung the widest range of emotions, and Mee Jung capitalized on this to give a nuanced performance…"

– RUSSELL WARNE, UTAH BLOGGERS ASSOCIATION
RICHARD III at UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
"Queen Elizabeth (Desirée Mee Jung) is a powerhouse female character in this play, and Jung pulls no punches in her portrayal. The commanding presence Mee Jung brings to the stage is a fascinating antithesis to Richard. Her quick wit, even on the shortest of lines, drives a needling barb into Richard’s façade. "

– ASHLEI HAVILI THOMAS, FRONT ROW REVIEWERS UTAH
RICHARD III at UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
"Desiree Mee Jung…her charisma and charm make her a pleasure to watch in her scenes."

– USSELL WARNE, UTAH BLOGGERS ASSOCIATION
PERICLES at UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
"Desiree Mee Jung as Adriana is bewitching and humorous."

– Kathryn Olsen, Front Row Reviewers
COMEDY OF ERRORS at UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
“Desirée Mee Jung provided the gravitas necessary to ground a show with such an epic story.”

– KELLY ROGERS FLINT, BROADWAY WORLD
