- "Right Before Your Eyes": This is the spectacle number. It details the Peach's growth. Choreography here should involve the ensemble mimicking the expansion of the fruit or manipulating props to show the physical change.
- "Shake It Up": A high-energy dance number involving the insects encouraging James to come out of his shell. It allows for interpretive dance based on insect movement (crawling, hopping, weaving).
- "Plump and Juicy": The Act Two closer features the Cloud Men. This is an antagonist dance break. The choreography should be sharp, angular, and imitative of weather patterns (lightning strikes, wind gusts).
- The Peach: The script suggests a large, inflatable fabric bubble, a painted wagon, or a group of actors holding a circular frame covered in orange silk. Do not try to build a rotating, flying peach—you do not need it.
- The Bugs: Costumes should suggest insects, not recreate them. A striped shirt for Centipede, a polka-dot dress for Ladybug, wire-rimmed glasses for Grasshopper. The script warns against full-face masks, as they hide young actors' expressions.
- The Seagulls: The script includes a hilarious bit where actors wear white gloves on their heads to represent seagulls pecking at string.
