The "Theater Level" auditions were broadcast on August 15, 2011 on a special program called Idol Puerto Rico - Theatre Edition. During this audition, the 80 contestants sang individually in front of the judges. They were then evaluated in groups of eight to gradually reduce the number. Those selected got to choose a partner to sing a duet. The jury listened each pair and eliminated several contestants. For the final round of this stage of the competition, the contestants sang solo one more time. In the end, the judges chose the twenty-four semifinalists.[2]

The finals began on September 12, 2011 with 12 contestants, and lasted 10 weeks. One finalist was eliminated per week based on the public's votes.
