“THE STRAND THEATRE, 169 Strand, was originally built for the exhibition of a panorama, but was altered in 1831 into a theatre” (215).
“THE STRAND THEATRE, Strand. Built by Mr. Rayner, the comedian, on the site of Baker's Panorama. It is a small yet neat theatre, and is principally confined to the production of vaudevilles and other light comic pieces (127).
Cruchley’s Guide in 1841 described this theatre’s entertainments as “operas, burlettas and ballets” (186).

”ROYAL STRAND THEATRE, Strand, near Somerset House. Comedies, opera bouffes, and burlesques” (38).
The information provided within this source is similar to that given within London in all its Glory, also published by H.G. Clarke, & Co.
In addition, this source also contains the following:
“168, Strand […] It was at one time under the management of Mrs. Waylett, by the influence of whose talents it acquired a high reputation, and afterwards under that of the late Mr. W.J. Hammond, when it also enjoyed a large share of public support, Mrs. Nesbitt and Mrs. Stirling gracing it with their presence; here, Mr. Douglas Jerrold, for a short time, appeared on the stage, in one of his own admirable dramas; and here, too, when under the management of Mr. W. Farren, that admirable actress, Mrs. Glover, fulfilled her last engagement on the stage, previous to the evening of her farewell benefit at Drury Lane, an evening which she only survived a few days. Lessee, Mr. G. Purday. Doors open at half-past six; performances commence at seven. Admission: stalls, four shillings; boxes, three shilings [sic]; pit, one shilling; gallery, sixpence. Second price to the boxes only at nine o clock” (217).
pp211-216.
“STRAND THEATRE, No. 169, Strand, originally Barker's Panorama, was altered in 183[?] for Rayner, the low comedian, and Mrs. Waylett, the singer. Here were produced Douglas Jerrold's early plays. The theatre has since become famous for its burlesques” (788).
Also gives the theatre’s capacity (in 1866) as 700 (789)
