This week Parker Sela takes over the show to talk about Pompeii, no not the ancient Roman city that was destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD, but the Fosse-tacular immersive by Detour Productions that is coming to San Francisco at the end of this month.

Billed as “part Fosse fantasy, part queer cabaret, part end-of-the-world dance party,” Parker checks in with returning guest, Detour co-founder and Pompeii director Eric Garcia along with performer Mudd The Two Spirt who plays the M.C. in Pompeii.

And if you haven’t clocked it by now, yes, this show is a mash-up of movies from what Detour calls the “Fosse cinematic universe.”
