Dually based out of New York and Seattle, Vince Wingerter is an active performer on the stage with a strong passion for singing and tap dancing.

Since then he's never looked back and pursues actively musical theatre across the country. Favorite productions include Singin' in the Rain (Don Lockwood), My One and Only (Billie), Thoroughly Modern Millie (Jimmy), Urinetown (Bobby), Chorus Line (Mike), South Pacific (Cable), and Lucky Stiff (Harry Witherspoon).
In 2008-2009 Vince Wingerter performed as a principle singer for Celebrity Cruise Lines in two different contracts, including the original cast of Liverpool Knights. Despite his love of tap dancing and the stage, he was able to focus exclusively on his vocal performance in the Caribbean, Baltic's, Arctic Circle, and Mediterranean with Celebrity.
Currently back on land, Vince Wingerter's continues with his performance goals of playing the many great roles in musical theatre throughout the country. With a love of shows both classic and contemporary, he looks forward to the many great experiences the future holds.

"The lead actors are outstanding...Wingerter is as good a tap-dancer as I've seen on South Sound stages...smooth and snappy with natural grace. His duets with McMurry remind me of Gene Kelly and Ann Miller." My One & Only (Role: Billy)
- Alec Clayton (Tacoma News Tribune)
"Wingerter couldn't be better. He has the whole package and more...a voice that is over-the-top wonderful (his Act 1 finale 'Strike up the Band' left me in utter awe), fantastic tap-dancing skills and a sweet charm about him that makes him entirely believable. Jenny McMurry as Edythe Herbert is terrific as well and their duets (particularly their first tap duet, 'He Loves and She Loves') are nothing short of wonderful." My One & Only (Role: Billy)
