If you had to choose between the three urchins from little shop, the trio from Caroline or the Dynamites from Hairspray, who would you choose (I'm not including the Trio from TBFO cuz they don't really have solos, they're more featured back-up singers, but if you like 'em more, I guess it counts)?
I love the Dynamites from Hairspray! They get a chance to belt it like nobody's business!

As a former Crystal (yes, in little surburban towns like mine, 4'11" red headed white girls get to be Crystal!) I would have to say the Little Shop trio. I saw all three shows on Broadway, and the Dynamites really didn't have MUCH to do...they weren't memorable like the urchins are. The Radio from Caroline or Change is great, but they just didn't make me scream and woo hoo like the awesome Bway Little Shop gals did...and I think the LSOH gals also get my vote because they each have a character and personality that the audience can distinguish them as separate people and not just a group, which is awesome, because lots of times where there are "groups" it's hard to distinguish different personalities.

the urchins from LSOH are the best, they steal the show every night

They must be better live, cuz I didn't think the Radio was that impressive on the CoC cast album, I thought the Urchins were better. I haven't seen or heard Hairspray (altho I've bought the album twice and given it as a gift lol), so I can't judge the Dynamites.
Hey, I have the best girl group: Hugh's backup singers at the Tony's opening number (and, yes, I know, it was all three groups!) They were really good together!
They are all phenomenal, though. (The Dynamites I saw the second time I say Hairspray after Marissa left were really not that good. Compared to the previous, roof-blowing dynamites, they had nothing on them.)
