Grizabella? Googling comes in very useful sometimes.

The leading role is probably taken by Old Deuteronomy, who is on stage all the time and presides over the whole show. Grizabella is one of the many characters in the show, and she is chosen at the end for a special ceremony, but she is not really the leading role - she has only one song plus a brief appearance at the end.
