Who is the lead in Cabaret. This is in regard to the curtain call. The Emcee,
Sally, or Clifford?

I've always viewed it as the EMCEE.  He is the one who starts the whole thing - and ends it - and is the one that's sort of "in charge" of everything that goes on, onstage.  It's almost as if he is the story teller - the narrator if you will, and the whole show is somewhat of a morbid fantasy that he controls.  That might be a bit too cosmic but that's always been my strongest assumption seeing this show and having done it twice (Herr Schultz).  Sally and Clifford are on equal ground more or less but really secondary to the Emcee in my opinion.  I guess it would vary with any individual director who saw it differently of course.

Well,
 
I feel the star of the show is Sally followed by Cliff. If you recall Joel Grey won best supporting actor in the film and what was really best supporting actor on Broadway.
 
I figure it this way. If you take out the emcee you still have the story of Sally and Cliff and Frau Schneider and Herr Shultz. Also the story of Berlin and Hitler's rise to power. Take out Sally, Cliff,Schneider and Schultz and what do you have? No story.
