DON'T MESS WITH MARY (1994), songs by Tom sung by various artists, was named the official CD of Stonewall 25, and featured in the video, "Global Voices of Pride & Protest," produced for public television by In The Life-TV. His songs also appear on the CD "Feeding The Flame, Songs by Men to End AIDS", Ron Romanovsky's "Hopeful Romantic" and "Sing Out", a CD from The Twin Cities' Gay Men's Chorus.

Tom's 15-minute-musical, "Sixty Years With Bruhs and Gean", was commissioned by the New York City Gay Men's Chorus, premiered at Carnegie Hall (1995), sung at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center (1996), at the GALA V Chorus Festival in Tampa and at Merkin Concert Hall (1997). This work has been expanded and received its first public performance in Provincetown in the summer of 2002. In 2003, "Bruhs and Gean" was part of the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival and later in New York at Marieâs Crisis. In 2004, it was seen at The Duplex (New York) and Arts Project Cherry Grove (Fire Island).

Tom's song "Lesbian Seagull" is featured in "Beavis and Butt-head Do America", (MTV/Paramount, 1997), as well as on the platinum-selling soundtrack (Geffen Records), sung by Engelbert Humperdinck. âLesbian Seagullâ was also released as a single and included in "Wacky, Weird, and Wonderfulâ (1999), and âTen Years of Movie Music History, Remembering The â90sâ (2000), both published by Warner Brothers Publications.

Other musicals include âFunny That Wayâ (with Becky Kent and Erika Thorne), "The Tom Wilson Weinberg Songbook", (Volumes I and II), and âLovely Coupleâ (with Lisa Joy Bernstein). Tom's new musical, "Eleanor and Hick", has had workshop productions at the Walnut Street Theatre Studio 5 in Philadelphia and the John Houseman Studio Theatre in New York.

His spoof on former senator Rick Santorum "The Teachings of Chairman Rick" was in the 2005 Philadelphia Fringe Festival and revived right before Santorum's defeat in 2006. His play with music "After GUANTÁNAMOâ was staged for Philly Fringe 2006, and a full-length version of âSixty Years with Bruhs & Geanâ was produced in Philadelphia by David Perkiss in 2007.
