The winner of the live show is awarded a slot in the attraction's nighttime finale. Each of the shows is approximately 25 minutes.

Disney licensed the show’s logos and set design from  19 Entertainment and Fremantle Media, and worked with the show’s set creator Andy Walmsley on the design of the studio. The 1,000 seat set that Imagineers constructed, was based on the American Idol Season 7 set, and featured a 35 by 7 foot LED wall. The attraction also features a spotlight, which automatically follows the performers as they move around the stage.
