Star Wars fans may enjoy a stag night in Sheffield

Star Wars fans currently on a Sheffield stag party may want to head to the city's arena to witness the sci-fi saga in concert.

Sheffield stag parties can see the "spectacular" at the city's arena today (March 10th), which will include an "army" of sound technicians, lighting engineers, singers and musicians, according to the Sheffield Star.

The man inside the C3PO robot suit, 64-year-old Anthony Daniels, will narrate the show and perform alongside a choir and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

Speaking to the newspaper, he said: "I'm looking forward to coming to Sheffield for the first time - and bringing my golden suit with me. I'm not wearing it - it's in the exhibition."

Those on a Sheffield stag weekend can watch the concert on a 60-ft wide and 35-ft high screen, as well as take in the music of John Williams, who has created the score.

Sheffield was recently announced as one of the contenders to take the 2013 title of UK City of Culture.
