Coach Izzo was convinced his sold-out 2009 performance on stage at East Lansing's Wharton Center for Performing Arts was a one-time gig, not to be repeated. However, fans of basketball and Broadway insisted Coach Izzo return to the stage, this time at DeVos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids.

It's a must-see show, written and directed by East Lansing native Greg Ganakas (son of former Spartan basketball coach Gus Ganakas) and produced by MSU's Wharton Center for Performing Arts.
