Theatre Auditions

edit

Acts who were accepted in the pre-auditions, make it through to the theatre audition, where it is televised with a live audience. For the theatre auditions, there are 6 episodes where hundreds of acts are put through to have a chance to get to the next round - the semi-finals, although only 21 acts will get through.

After the theatre auditions, the judges decide which 21 acts will go through to the live shows. There are 3 semi-finals and 1 final each with its own results show. Only 2 acts from each semi-final will advance to the final.
