The
attraction follows the model of the high-energy show. Disney guests
experience the challenge of auditioning, the rush of performing on stage in
competition, or the thrill of judging the performances in a live interactive
entertainment setting with all the glitz and glamour of the distinctive
"American Idol" set.
Should you chose to perform, there is an audition process, open to all
eligible to register, where guests perform “live” in front of a Disney’s
Hollywood Studios producer for the chance to be cast in a theme park show.
If shown to have that star quality during the screening process and after
backstage preparation -- working with a vocal coach, hair and make-up --
it’s lights up and showtime for the lucky guest in front of a “live”
audience and a panel of judges.
Guest
performers with the highest votes will compete in an end-of-day Grand Finale
show at Walt Disney World, and the winner of the Grand Finale show will
receive a guaranteed reservation for a future regional stadium audition --
to ensure no waiting in long lines -- for the "American Idol" TV show. But
when it comes down to the television show auditions, everyone is treated
equal.
