Pompeii

Step into Detour's latest immersive production, Pompeii, where multiple floors pulse with Fosse-inspired choreography, drag, and theater. In here, life is beautiful—but catastrophe is ever near.

Before purchasing a ticket to Pompeii, below are a few IMPORTANT things to consider:

• Age Restrictions: You must be 18+ to attend Pompeii.
• No Late Entry: Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled showtime to leave room for the onboarding process. Due to the immersive and intimate nature of the show, there is no late entry. Any unclaimed tickets will be released at the start of the performance to the waitlist.
• Attire: Please be advised that you will be standing and walking for long periods of time. We recommend you wear comfortable closed toe shoes – heels are strongly discouraged. Read below for accessibility information.
• An Extra Note on Attire: You're invited to dress as your most fabulous self. Embrace your inner cabaret star with fishnets, suspenders, and a touch-too-much of rouge.
• Bag/Coat Check: Bags and large coats will not be permitted inside Pompeii. A complimentary coat/bag check will be provided, however space is limited. Please plan ahead.
• Behavior: Disrespectful, lewd behavior, or any form of harassment towards performers, crew or other audience members will not be permitted and will result in the guest’s immediate removal from the premises.
• Refund Policy: Refunds can not be guaranteed for Pompeii, however we will do our best to accommodate ticket exchange requests. For ticket exchange requests, please contact us at directors@detour.productions

ACCESSIBILITY:

• Storek is a multi-story building with an elevator. There are ADA-compliant routes for guests that prefer to avoid stairs, use wheelchairs, or use other assistive devices. You can email directors@detour.productions to let us know you’re coming, and we can plan accordingly!
