Latest report on the BBC is that a ceiling rose broke away along with surrounding plasterwork. It sounds like the rose was supporting a chandelier, so we could be talking about a fair bit of metalwork too.
One thing that I can say is that Soho fire station is literally just along the road from the theatre, so they'd have been onto it immediately.

I can understand people being worried so soon after the Clutha Vaults, though..
