The address is correct and would reach the theatre if posted. Whoever told you its "undeliverable" is mistaken.

The address looks okay to me and Im from the UK.
Many places have a name ie. Milton Keynes Theatre and a number ie 500 and things will get there by using either the building name or number, or if you want to be sure you could add the building name and the building number, but it would get there either way.
UK addresses go like this -
Name of person/organisation
building number or name
street
county
postcode
country
Hope that helps

Yes perhaps they would like the county ( buckinghamshire * ) your end, though it should still arrive without it, for example I live in Norwich which is in Norfolk but our letter still arrive fine if there is just Norwich and then the postcode.
So long as you have the building name and the postcode thats whats really important
* Im pretty sure Milton Keynes is Buckinghamshire rather than Burkshire - my partner is from Reading Berkshire ands thats not really near Milton Keynes, I dare not wake him up to check

but if you put buckinghamshire theatres into google it comes up with Milton Keynes Theatre - where did you see Burkshire ?

Does that sound about right? Would it get there? Thanks again:) I did google it and it came up with the Milton Keynes Theatre and also it did have number 500. I still don't understand why the post office said it was not a right addy? She said half the cities in the UK are not garrenteed to be delivered?????
Let em know if this is right:)

You don't have to put 'England' and 'UK' in the address - just use 'UK'. Other than that the address is 100% correct
