Equity's hiring of J. Bruce Maffeo has ''created tensions'' with Judd Burstein, the lawyer the Weisslers hired to probe Jeff Loeffelholz's death.
BroadwayNews reports that Burstein says ''Chicago's'' cast and crew and affiliated unions have been reluctant to speak to him.
It adds: According to emails shared with press by Burstein, Maffeo wrote in a July 13 email to Burstein that he would “not agree to your interviewing any of the union members pending the conclusion of the union’s internal investigation of the matter.”
