Theatre Auditions

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.

Top 21 Acts

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.
