The show will feature music by two-time Olivier Award nominee Dana P. Rowe (The Witches of Eastwick, The Fix) and book and lyrics by Michael Aman and Oscar E. Moore (Masada). Directed by Michael Bush (director of artistic production at MTC) and choreographed by two-time Tony Award nominee Randy Skinner (42nd Street), The Ballad of Bonnie & Clyde stars country music recording artist Sherrié Austin (Streets of Heaven) as Bonnie and Deven May (Bat Boy) as Clyde, with the remainder of the cast to be announced shortly.

According to production notes, The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde "uses the Nashville sound to recount the story of the infamous outlaw couple. Bonnie breaks Clyde out of prison and together they break the country out of the monotony of the Great Depression by dishing up Country Rock 'n' Roll, Grand Ol' Opry style!" The show will boast sets by Anna Louizos, costumes by Daniel Cole, lighting by Traci Klainer and sound by Mike Farfalla.
