Got it in one.
It is, to put it mildly, an effing scandal.
They only got permission to demolish the auditorium on condition that the facade would be retained and restored in the subsequent rebuild; so they demolish the auditorium, then put in a separate application to remove the remaining building on the grounds that it's not viable after all to include it, and that the facade is rendered 'meaningless' by the lack of auditorium attached. Appalling behaviour, all the more so since the council that makes the decision stands to benefit financially from the redevelopment.
Still, a different part of the council did give Gap74 and I the keys to the place (literally!) before demolition started, so we got a full photo survey (the balcony was pretty ropey then, when there was still 4 walls and a roof over it!). You can see those here, for comparison purposes:

In the pictures above, the wooden panels in the roofspace are particularly sad to see, as what was formerly up there were some stunning early 1920s posters advertising Bostock & Wombwells Gigantic & Combined Show. The local museums service had hoped to remove them (along with the cartouche above the proscenium arch) before demolition started, but we understand that didn't happen :(

I think it was 1998.... did'nt want to disturb the heap for fear of creating a further stench. It was ripe up there
