A contemporary description states:
"For the facades of this beautiful theatre in Cambridge Circus, Mr. Collcutt chose red Ellistown brick and Doulton terra-cotta, and with its grouping of arcaded windows, its deep balconies, its loggias, designed to be thrown open in summer, and its frieze and cornice, sur¬mounting the second tier of windows, this front elevation will, doubt¬less, be regarded as a most attractive example of balance and com¬position. The observant and critical visitor will not fail to notice the Grand Staircase, to the left of the vestibule; this staircase descends to the stalls and ascends to the Royal Circle. The whole structure is supported on columned arches, the columns being of rich green marble, with gilded capitals and bases. The hand rail and plinth are in grand antique, the balusters in alabaster, and the steps in veined marble. It is lighted by upwards of 2000 electric lamps and the requisite power is generated on the premises. The proscenium arch is of costly Italian marbles, the smaller panels being of Mexican onyx."
