In 1862, the theatre was host to a 400-night run of "Our American Cousin", with Edward Sothern as Lord Dundreary. The play's success brought the word "dreary" into common use. Robertson's "David Garrick" was a hit in 1864, also with Sothern in the title role. Sothern also starred in H. J. Byron's "An English Gentleman" at the theatre in 1871. W. S. Gilbert premiered seven of his plays at the Haymarket. The first was his early burlesque, "Robinson Crusoe; or, The Injun Bride and the Injured Wife" (1867, written with Byron, Tom Hood, H. S. Leigh and Arthur Sketchley). Gilbert followed this with a number of his blank verse "fairy comedies", the first of which was "The Palace of Truth" (1870), produced by Buckstone. These starred William Hunter Kendal and his wife Madge Robertson Kendal and also included "Pygmalion and Galatea" (1871), and "The Wicked World" (1873). Gilbert also produced here his dramas, "Charity" (1874), "Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith" (1876), and his most famous play outside of his Savoy Operas, "Engaged", an 1877 farce. Buckstone's ghost has reportedly often been seen at the theatre, particularly during comedies and "when he appreciates things" playing there. In 2009, "The Daily Telegraph" reported that the actor Patrick Stewart saw the ghost standing in the wings during a performance of "Waiting for Godot" at the Haymarket. In May 1875, Arthur Sullivan's "The Zoo" transferred to the Haymarket.
