Page "Stephen Sondheim" Paragraph 25

In 1965 he wrote the lyrics only for Do I Hear a Waltz ?, with music by Richard Rodgers.

He has said that this is the one project he has regretted.

In 1966, he semi-anonymously provided the lyric for " The Boy From ...", a parody of " The Girl from Ipanema ", a highlight of the off-Broadway revue The Mad Show.

( The official songwriting credit went to the linguistically minded pseudonym " Esteban Rio Nido ", which translates from the Spanish to " Stephen River Nest ".

In the show's playbill, the lyrics are credited to " Nom De Plume ".
