Stars Are Born: America's Got Talent Live Shows

Where Stars Are Discovered: America's Got Talent Live Show

 

Step into the spotlight for a truly special day in Pasadena as we attend a live broadcast of America’s Got Talent, one of television’s most beloved entertainment programs. Hosted by the dynamic and personable Terry Crews, the show features remarkable performers of all ages and abilities, delivering moments that are uplifting, surprising, and downright fun. During the live show, entertainment is continuous, even when the broadcast cuts to a commercial break!

 

We’ll begin with lunch on your own in beautiful Old Pasadena, a favored destination known for its classic architecture, walkable streets, and excellent variety of restaurants. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy a leisurely meal, visit a few shops, and ease into the day’s excitement.

 

After lunch, we’ll head to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, where you’ll experience the thrill of being part of a real television production. From the anticipation in the audience to the energy on stage, it’s an engaging and memorable look at how live TV magic is made. An America’s Got Talent live taping is energetic, fast-paced, and very different from other television tapings. It requires your attention, energy, and enthusiasm. Audience members are encouraged to get up out of their seats to cheer and guests who remain seated for the entire show may be subject to obstructions by those who stand.

 

IMPORTANT:  Television schedules are subject to change or cancellation due to studio-related factors beyond our control. End times are determined by the studio and may vary. Additionally, there is no exit and re-entry into the venue. We recommend planning a late lunch and bringing snacks to the security line where we check in. There will be snacks on the coach upon departure.

Audience Participation

Audience participation is an important part of the show. Guests will be asked to stand, sit, applaud, cheer, and follow direction throughout the taping. This may involve repeated movement and sustained energy.

If you are seeking a quiet, observational experience, this event may not be the best fit. If you enjoy being actively involved, it can be a truly fun and memorable day.
