She appeared in Fox Live musicals A Christmas Story and the iconic musical Grease, as well as Showtime’s Reefer Madness.

On stage, Gasteyer originated the role of “Elphaba” in the Chicago production of Wicked and then went on to play the role on Broadway. Her resume also includes The Rocky Horror Show and the Tony Nominated plays: The Royal Family and Three Penny Opera.
