"Bertumen conveys Mei-Li's simplicity, her pride in her heritage, her integrity, and a tenderness in her love that win us over from the start." -Arthur Dorman, Regional Reviews Minneapolis/St. Paul
"Bertumen is positively luminous as Mei-Li, the true believer who provides the story's moral and emotional center." -Jay Gabler, City Pages
"Stephanie Bertumen also provides a believably youthful, wide-eyed naivete as ingenue Mei-Li." -David and Chelsea Bergland, How Was the Show?
"Neither Stephanie Bertumen as Mei-Li nor Sherwin Resurreccion as Wang are AEA members (yet) but carry their lead roles with conviction. Bertumen has a sweet singing voice." -BWW Review

Complicated Fun: the Minneapolis Music Scene
History Theatre
"....Its most human story revolves around a girl (Stephanie Bertumen) who finds her muse and her voice in the club music and record store buzz in Minneapolis, circa 1984. Bertumen’s rendering of the Replacements’ 'Androgynous' near the top of the second act — playing her own guitar — is one of the play’s nicest, most honest moments." -Graydon Royce, Star Tribune
"As the Girl and the Boy, Stephanie Bertumen and Bowen Cochran[e] thrill. Bertumen has a delightfully sly grin and wide-eyed presence." -John Olive, How Was the Show?
"Bertumen excels as the plucky 'girl', embodying so many of the young women who dreamed of being onstage." -Rebecca Marx, Rift

"Stephanie Bertumen adds an element of spontaneous energy and spunk as the hapless Viola/Cesario caught in the middle...." -Lisa Brock, Star Tribune

"...Hua Mulan tells the truth about why she’s the only princess without a guy, Pocahontas wants to know why her true story got told in such an untrue way, and Princess Badroulbadour (AKA Jasmine) is angry that she’s basically just a prop; all three are played by the bewitching and versatile Stephanie Bertum[e]n." -Liz Byron, Aisle Say Twin Cities
"Stephanie Bertumen slips fantastically from playing a butch Hua Mulan, to an over-sexualized Pocahontas (complete with flying leaves), to a surprisingly second fiddle Princess Badroulbado(u)r (Princess Jasmine in Aladdin)." -Todd O'Dowd, l'etoile
