His musicals include Narnia (based on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe), Tommy Tune’s one-man Ichabod and Eleanor—An American Love Story, based on the early lives of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. Tom also wrote the Coffee House Centennial tribute song “Welcome to the Coffee House” and “The Year of Living Dangerously” with member Jeffrey Haddow.
