Big plans are in the works for Boeing's scheduled rollout of the 787 Dreamliner on Sunday.

An audience of more than 15,000 people will be on hand at the Everett factory premier when a fully-assembled 787 makes its entrance as the star of the show.

Guests include employees, customers, dignitaries and worldwide media. And Tom Brokaw, the former anchor of "NBC Nightly News" will lend his voice to an event that will be shown around the world.

Using direct-to-satellite and Web cast technologies, Boeing will broadcast the ceremony to more than 80 remote sites across Asia, Europe and the U.S.

Two-way satellite capability will also allow partners in Japan, Italy and the U.S. to participate in the premier.

The entire event will be broadcast in nine languages - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.

Special parties to watch the premiere are taking place in some far-flung locations. One will be held in a large barn at a horse racetrack in London. Two others are planned at big outdoor picnics in Kansas and South Carolina. Another will unfold aboard a cruise ship in the waters of Puget Sound.

Boeing has also reserved Qwest Field, the home of the Seahawks, for Boeing employees and retirees to view the unveiling on a large screen at the end of the field.

Also watching the live feed will be millions of Internet viewers, as well as those who can view the ceremony live via DirecTV and the DISH Network.

Music for the gala comes courtesy of the Northwest. Composer Brian Gibson and his team from Vancouver, B.C. created the special songs that will be used for the rollout experience.

Instruments will also represent regions around the world, from a Japanese flue to an Australian didgeridoo, to an ancient Middle Eastern instrument known as "ney".

Guests will have a worldly feel as well. Flight attendants from the many airlines that have purchased the 787 will play a role in the ceremony.

And one of the biggest wow factors will be the use of video screens called "misphere curtains". Using 12,000 lights, the curtains make it possible to display images with 360-degree viewing angles. The same dramatic lighting has been used at concerts for entertainers like U2 and Madonna.

Boeing and Sound Transit will offer employees and retirees free trains service to Qwest Field on Sunday. A Boeing badge is required to take advantage of the service.

The general public is invited to celebrate the rollout at the Future of Flight Aviation Center in Mukilteo. Special activities are planned from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

A special series of videos leading up to the rollout event are posted on Boeing's Web site. The series commemorates the 700-series of airplanes and showcases the history of flight since the debut of the 707 model in 1958.
