Hwang. ... Jue's moving and heartfelt portrayal ... has been earning [him] rave reviews."[2] Jue has said, "For me, Hwang's work has been a seminal part of being Asian-American in this culture. It's about feeling alienated in your own country."[13] In 2009, after recovering from a back injury sustained in a 15-foot fall during rehearsals for a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream,[14] Jue appeared in Coraline with MCC Theater at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in the role of Father.[15][16] He returned to the Public Theater in 2011 as Sir Nathaniel in Love's Labor's Lost.[17]

A review in The Boston Globe commented: "Jue delivers an indelible portrait of a Mephistophelean hustler who doesn’t so much walk as slither, a cannily corrupt survivor adept at switching allegiances. ... Jue excels in one of the show’s best numbers, "The American Dream".[53] Jue won an Elliot Norton Award for his performance[54] and was nominated for an IRNE Award.[55]
In October 2015, Jue created several roles, including Melvin the father, in a new comic play, Tiger Style! by Mike Lew at Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.[56] "Jue steals the show as he rapidly modulates between characters, performing with charisma and humor".[57] In early 2016, Jue played sushi master chef Koji in Tokyo Fish Story by Kimber Lee at Theatreworks.[58] Later in the year, he reprised his roles in Tiger Style! in Boston.[59] The following year, he played Larry Yee in "King of the Yees", by Lauren Yee, in Chicago and Los Angeles.
