Chava Monologue?

Ok, and this is me going WAYYY back in time to when I last saw the show (ie. the revival, but i've got terrible memory): does Chava have a monologue towards the end of Fiddler on the Roof? I remember the staging of it, for crying out loud, but I can't remember for how long she talks nor what she says. Someone mentioned it to me the other day and it's killing me.

Does anyone knows what she says? Can you even count it as a monologue?

Really random question, but thanks!

Unless they changed the script, she doesn't have any monologues. In her final scene (saying goodbye to the family), she has like 6 lines, but they are all short. Poignant, yes, but no monologues.

She doesn't have a monologue, but she's featured in a dance sequence in "Little Bird/Chavaleh." (I've seen this titled both ways on different albums and different playbills, don't shoot the messenger.) Her few lines are telling Tevye that she and Fyedka are moving away because they can't remain in a place with intolerant people, basically.

You're welcome. (I was in it last summer. :) )

Thanks!
