Ted Royal
Ted Royal () (6 September 1904, Skedee, Oklahoma - 27 March (?) 1981) was an American orchestrator, conductor and composer for Broadway theatre. He was most active in the 1940s and 50s, being associated with the very successful original productions of Lerner and Loewe's ''Brigadoon'' and ''Paint Your Wagon''. Together with George Bassman he orchestrated Frank Loesser's ''Guys and Dolls''.〔Bio entry in ''The Oxford Companion to American Theater,'' 2004.〕 The dean of musical orchestrators, Robert Russell Bennett, remembered Royal as "one of Broadway's very special arrangers."〔Robert Russell Bennett (ed. George Joseph Ferencz), ''The Broadway Sound'', University of Rochester Press, 1998, p. 181.〕

Royal may have also been known in New York under the name of Ted Klinefelter. He majored in music at the University of Kansas and completed further studies in Houston and New York, including a correspondence course in the mathematical musical progressions advanced by the influential theorist Joseph Schillinger, who had also taught George Gershwin.
After floating around as a sideman in various minstrel shows, Royal settled down as alto sax in the Ted Weems orchestra. He began writing big-band charts for Weems as well as Tommy Dorsey, Paul Whiteman and Harry James. By 1935 Royal was hosting his own radio show in New York and fronted an orchestra which often played on Long Island. However, he may have run into unemployment and financial troubles in the economic downturn of 1937.〔"Business Records, Bankruptcy Proceedings", ''New York Times,'' 11 November 1937, p. 46.〕
