ABOUT MATTHEW
From The Sunshine State
Born and raised in Miami, FL, Matthew’s passion for theatre was first sparked after watching West Side Story. Being the only boy of 8 siblings and a proud Nicaraguan Latino, he was drawn to the idea of dance as a drive for storytelling as well as the athleticism and the gentle ferocity that comes with it. He then began taking dance classes and training full time; pulling inspiration from titans of the industry like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Donald O’Connor.
DISNEY CRUISE LINE
Matthew’s career has taken him sailing on the open sea onboard Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Magic. There, he has worked as the company’s Male Swing and Dance Captain; covering as many as 24 tracks across all three MainStage shows (Tangled, Twice Charmed, Disney Dreams). He has loved bringing magic to families both onstage and off as well as getting to travel the world performing.
Matthew Quintero is a dynamic performer who loves connecting with audiences onstage, collaborating in the studio, and bringing a fresh, modern energy to all works from golden age to contemporary. His innate sense of style and world-building makes him an engaging player in every production.
REGIONAL WORK
Matthew started his performance career working at regional theatre Pembroke Pines Theatre of the Arts in their recent production Evita. His consistent drive and perseverance led him expanding to other regional theatres in Florida such as Broadway Palm (A Chorus Line) and Slow Burn Theater Company (Footloose, Newsies, Honeymoon in Vegas, Mary Poppins).
Most recently, Matthew stepped back on the line
