The New York Post's Michael Riedel reports that unlike last year, CBS will broadcast the 'In Memoriam' segment of the 2015 TONY AWARDS. The network received a heavy dose of criticism last year for cutting the moving segment out of the live telecast.

In addition, Riedel reports that the casts from all the Broadway shows who will be participating in this year's Tonys will sing, in costume, as photos of departed theater LEGENDS appear on-screen. No details have been revealed as to the song that will be performed by the participants.

Among those expected to be honored in the tribute are Marian Seldes, Elaine Stritch, Mike Nichols, Geoffrey Holder, Joan Rivers, Lauren Bacall, Eli Wallach and Mary Rodgers.
