The Lonely Dog Storyline

A Legacy Is Born

New Zealand artist Ivan Clarke was on holiday with his children when they caught their family dog looking wistfully after them. “That dog’s lonely,” observed Ivan. This sparked Ivan’s imagination and the rest is history.

Today, you can experience Ivan’s story firsthand at the Lonely Dog Immersive Experience featuring original artwork and music from the world of Alveridgea. Purchase tickets online or contact us to reserve our Orlando corporate event space or one of our Orlando private event rooms.

Meet The Characters

Lonely Dog

Lonely Dog

Arthur Snout, aka Lonely Dog, is an orphaned hound who grew up on the working-class side of Port Alveridge. Lonely was run out of town and became a refugee in his own country after being bullied and misunderstood. He embarked on his own journey and created music that moved mountains and brought opposing cultures together.

Rolph Flannegan

Rolph Flannegan

Rolph is a committed and confirmed bachelor who taught Lonely the meaning behind the music and how to play the five-string Alveridgean guitar. He is frequently found at the neighborhood pub, Marvo’s Bar and Grill, telling stories about his early influence on Lonely Dog.

Celia Crème

Celia Crème

Celia Crème is a high fashion feline goddess and friend of Lonely Dog. Despite all the fame and fortune that her luxurious empire affords her, Celia still carries in her soul the memory of those barefoot years in the Catside orphanage and her unlikely friendship with a houndling.

Bronson

Bronson

Bronson is always attired in the Howlers blood-red patches and colors, sporting dark shades no matter what the time of day (or night), personifying houndly aloofness and coolness.

Kelzie

Kelzie

Kelzie had always been the quiet one. With her soft brown pigtails and limpid eyes she always stood apart from the other Houndettes at the Orphanage. It was for Kelzie that Lonely had written some of his most beautiful love songs.

The Baron

The Baron

Perhaps dreaming of wars he may once have fought, a glorious history that he might have had, or contemplating a personal lineage that assumes greater importance with every passing day, the Baron’s memories, real or imagined, lend him comfort.

Ak Rudeggan

AK Ruddegan

His full title is ‘Mayor & Colonel A K Ruddegan, President & CEO’ His selfishness and corruption is legendary, his power total. But there’s a Revolution coming down the road that not even Mayor Ruddegan and all his thuggish Tom Cats can stop!

Brother Jeroboam

Brother Jeroboam

Brother Jeroboam strikes an imposing figure seated in the saddle of his horse, Righteous, and preaching fire and brimstone from the pulpit of his hounds-only Cathedral in Molars Post.

Mick

Mick The Bass Hound

If you spot a stage in Alveridgea, you’ll find Mick the Bass Hound. He’ll be holding down the bottom for the likes of Stub Tail Tonks and Missing Tooth Memphis.

Storyline

Enter the World of Lonely Dog

Lonely Dog is a reluctant hero who strives to overcome the prejudice and displacement imposed upon the hounds by the ruling class felines. It’s said that Lonely Dog’s songs became legends long before he did, but he caught up and the whole world listened.

Songs of Freedom

Throughout his musical journey, Lonely composes songs of freedom that become renowned anthems for change and help pave the way towards unity. Bear witness to his harrowing adventure in which he overcomes persecution and sorrow to find redemption for all “houndkind.”

A Word From Our Past Guests

See what all the fuss is about.

This was by far the best experience we have had in a very long time. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and treated like family. The show itself was beautifully done and so vivid. We were stunned by the graphics, the music, and the storyline.

Ok when I first booked this was skeptical just wanted something casual to kind of do on a day off, but once inside I don’t think I ever stopped smiling!

This was an amazing experience. I would recommend going here. Great date night or for families. I have never been to a place like this before. It’s a lot of fun. There is a show in a room that it is like a VR walk through. It’s a fun story.
