===Broadway years===
Austin moved to New York City in 2005 and appeared in the New York Musical Theater Festival's production of ''Bonnie & Clyde''. ''The New York Times'' commented that she was "a sultry young country music singer who plays the notorious criminal Bonnie Parker and does for this musical what [[Reba McEntire]] did for the 1999 revival of ''[[Annie Get Your Gun (musical)|Annie Get Your Gun]].'' That twang in her voice provides some much-needed authenticity in excellent pop-country numbers like "Ain't Goin' Back." And it's easy to tell by her hip-swiveling poses that this is a woman who knows how to hold a stage."<ref>{{cite news |last=Zinoman |first=Jason |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C01E1D61730F930A1575AC0A9639C8B63 |title=NEW YORK MUSICAL THEATER FESTIVAL REVIEWS – The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde – Review – NYTimes.com |newspaper=The New York Times|date=23 September 2005 |access-date=9 April 2012}}</ref>
