Tom Izzo, Michigan State University Basketball Coach and Acting Star

By Associated Press

East Lansing, Michigan – Tom Izzo's next big performance will be on a theater stage instead of a basketball court. The Michigan State coach will be in a show called "Izzo Goes to Broadway" on May 6th at the Wharton Center located on MSU's campus. Proceeds from the show will benefit the American Cancer Society. "Izzo Goes to Broadway" is a show tracing Izzo's journey from high school in Iron Mountain to Michigan State's sidelines and eventually to Broadway. The performance features six accomplished Broadway performers and music from several Broadway shows such as "Cats," "Chicago," and "The Phantom of the Opera."
