EX: Animal Farm: Played Napoleon (leading role)
Or is that too conceited?

Most people (especially in theatre circles) know which roles are leading and which aren't. Stating the role should be enough.

It's not conceited. On resumes, you want to brag. However, it is very tacky. Most people will realize that it's a main part. If they've never heard of the show and you have a name in it, they'll probably get that it was a big part. (Most plays, if the part isn't big enough to have a real name, will just put "messenger" instead of "Ryan" or something.)
Capische?

The true key to resumes is putting peoples names in there, wedge them in however you can.
Oddly, no one really cares if you did Animal Farm or Hamlet, they want to know: who directed it, what theater it was in, what company produced it.
It's a small world, as we all know, looking at resumes we scan for names we recognize and for the level of production.
The only time to push focus to a particular show is if it's a world premiere. Then we'd know that you are doing new, experimental work.
My last comment might be if you broke your resume down into straight plays vs plays where you danced and sang ~ that might be helpful to see your range of skills and technique.
