I followed the directions exactly, and it put me in a little residential neighborhood in a cul-de-sac nowhere near the theater. I was ready to knock on somebody's door and ask if Highlander: Endgame was playing in their basement.

I've had problems with Mapquest, too. One time it sent me through a residential street that diddn't go clear through! When I finally got to that school, I also discovered that had that residential street gone through, I would have been routed through a back entrance to the school grounds which is generally locked.
Another time, Mapquest had the spelling of a school wrong, and couldn't find it for me. I always use Google Maps, and don't bother with printed directions. Just print out the map, and use my well-developed old-lady intuition and reasoning.
