On October 23 , 2002 Chechen Guerrillas Took The Audience Hostage in the Moscow theater that was showing the production of ''Nord-Ost'', threatening to blow up the building and demanding withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya . Most of the hostages were released after the theatre was stormed by special forces, but many died. After the attack, ''Nord-Ost'' returned to the same theater stage in Moscow on February 8 , 2003 and continued showing there until May 10 , 2003 , when the producers took it off the stage, quoting the loss of viewer interest due to fears caused by the attack. Since then, there have been guest performances of ''Nord-Ost'' in various cities in Russia and other countries. A return to Moscow in 2006 , possibly to a different theater site, is being planned.
