They have since agreed to refund payment.

I performed a medley of <em>I Put My Hand In There</em>, <em>Do You Hear the People Sing</em>, <em>Tomorrow</em>, <em>The Phantom of the Opera</em>, and <em>Defying Gravity</em> with my bath glove, bath pouf, and bath sponge puppets. Li'l Bearr was on my shoulder the whole time, and I also created a copy of Piers, Sharon, and Howie and their "X's" with dusters. It was the all day ordeal they promised. I arrived at 8:15 am and left at 5:15 pm. Very promising things happened during the audition. However I signed their routine confidentiality agreement that I cannot reveal anything about the auditions or auditioning process, or I would be disqualified from competing. It was amazing how well organized an auditioning process it was for such a multitude of auditions in such a short time. They will only inform "winners" and it will be probably in February. Channel 5 announced that the Saint Louis celebrity judges auditions will be held in March. I (Tom Bonham) auditioned for America’s Got Talent producer’s audition in October.
