Completely surpassed my expectations. I was entertained on every level by such a mesmerizing, thrilling tale of scandal. House of Rabbits slayed their sound, such a diverse array of sound, scenes and mediums create such depth to this show. I can not give enough praise to Charivari in Voyeurville. Other shows pale in comparison.... full review

Fantastic show! Sexy as hell. And the scene with the silk acrobats especially was jaw dropping!... full review

Really cool story telling through dance/movement theatre, live music, speech and gesticulation. Really kind of a trip to watch and it definitely took me on a journey with some touching, some beautiful, and some very impressive scenes. Overall very well directed - the action filled the stage and the tone of different pieces transitioned fluidly, I liked it. I was happy to see many of the same people behind one of my favorites from last year "Ravens and Writing Desks" were involved in this show! This is definitely an awesomely dark impressive piece of theatre that you should see.... full review

HOUSE OF RABBITS - CHARIVARI IN VOYEURVILLE was the first show that I saw at the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2015 and it set the bar well above what is expected at the festival. Everything about this production is beautifully executed. From the costuming to the lighting design to the ensemble work, everything weaves together effortlessly. The expertise that has gone into this production rivals most Off-Broadway productions. Kudos to Brandon Baruch and the entire cast and crew!! ... full review

Stunning. That's the first word that comes to mind after watching the visually stimulating, erotic and delightfully fucked-up dark faerie-tale that is House of Rabbits - Charivari in Voyeurville. Full of all kinds of sexy surprises (including a mind-blowing aerial silk duet), Charivari is the very definition of spectacle. Bravo. ... full review

A standout of the fest! A powerfully sexy and unique extravaganza. This twisted morality tale is one part Cirque de Soleil, the other the versed poetry of Oscar Wilde. Created by the band House of Rabbits, the show holds an engaging concept and execution from beginning to end. With haunting melodies, infused with aerial arts and terrific acting, the show directed by Brandon Baruch and Kyle Johnston is hypnotic, sexy, mysterious and heart-wrenching. It's going places. Say you saw it at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. ... full review

Charivari in Voyeurville demonstrates that the oldest tools in theater: dance, music, and masques, done well, still excite the senses and create visceral reactions. It also demonstrates that given the slightest push of insight, it has the potential to be transformative. When that insight is missing or the point of view trying to have it both ways, the miss is more palpable. Our society pushes folks towards marriage (and as a Gay man, was I surprised to find that at the head of our agenda) and laughs at folks in all stages of the process (engagement, marriage, divorce and widowhood) that stray. And folks that are interested in hedonism can be lonely during and after their beauty years. All of what we do wrecks human beings in tragic way... full review

Brandon Baruch did it again. A truly magical, fantastical journey. Beautifully produced, excellent staging, talented actors, exceptional choreography. Each year, his productions get better and go further. ... full review
