Retro Pac-Man and Super Mario machines to be placed outside Superdry
From February 17 to February 21, the centre will offer gaming fans the chance to play on classic machines like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and Super Mario.
The event is free to attend and open from 9am to 7pm every day - the gaming pod will be located outside Superdry.
Bookings are required between 11am and 4pm each day, with limited slots during busy periods.
Ian Ward, general manager at the Broadway, said: "We're always thinking of new experiences we can bring to all shoppers, and with gaming expected to reach a massive 11.56 million people by 2027 [https://techround.co.uk/guides/experts-comment-predictions-for-gaming-in-2025/], our retro arcade will be a big hit.
"With all the advancements happening on the gaming scene, it's always good to experience some nostalgia so we think the pop up will be a hit with both old and new gamers."
In addition to the retro arcade, Impact Gamers, based in Bradford, have been awarded funding to invite local youths to design their own arcade style games.
These games will be showcased in two repurposed arcade cabinets outside HMV from February 12 until the end of October.
Retro arcade bookings can be made at www.ticketsource.co.uk/the-broadway-bradford

Ariana DeBose mourns 'warrior queen' mother, Gina, who died of ovarian cancer
Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose is mourning the loss of her mother, Gina Michelle DeBose, who has died at age 57 after battling Stage 3 ovarian cancer. The "West Side Story" actor and Broadway star announced her mother's death Tuesday on Instagram, sharing photos of the two of them over the years — from the younger DeBose's childhood to her historic win at the Academy Awards in 2022. "I couldn't be more proud of her and how she fought this insidious disease over the past 3 years," DeBose wrote. Ariana DeBose, 34, said in her tribute that her mother was her "favorite person, my biggest fan and toughest critic. My best friend." The "Love Hurts" actor said her mother "fought like hell" to support her daughter's ambitions, adding that her accolades — which include BAFTA, Critics' Choice and Golden Globe awards — belong equally to her mother.

Audra McDonald speaks out after she says a fan followed her home
Broadway star Audra McDonald is giving her account of what happened with an overzealous fan. It's leading to a larger conversation on safety and etiquette. The revival of the musical "Gypsy" has ended its powerhouse run on Broadway, but not before McDonald, its star, had an uncomfortably close encounter with an overly determined fan. McDonald took to social media to call out the behavior of a woman who found the Tony winner as she exited the theater over the weekend from a door other than the stage door. "And followed me all the way to where I was staying," McDonald said. "It's not right." McDonald said she got some security to assist her, but the woman persisted. "[The woman's] response was, hey, I've came all the way, and felt that they deserved an autograph, and that is crossing a big old boundary," McDonald said. McDonald explained why she didn't greet fans at the stage door during the run of "Gypsy," which closed on Sunday. She said she needed to conserve her voice and get home quickly to her child. She said people should give actors space and respect when they're done with a performance and leaving the theater. If they don't stop, leave them alone," McDonald said. "There is a reason that they're not stopping, and it has nothing to do with you. It's them protecting their space and peace, whatever that may be." Back in May, actor Bob Odenkirk told CBS News New York some expect stars to interact with fans, which he did while he was on Broadway recently in the revival of "Glengarry Glen Ross." He said at times he wondered if it was wise. "I have to stay healthy," Odenkirk said. "I should probably wear a mask." Lea Salonga wore one for a short time when starred in Stephen Sondheim's "Old Friends." She was getting over an illness. "Knowing how to negotiate a show without panic, without anxiety," Salonga said. For Broadway actors, being followed on social media may be fine, but being followed home is never OK.
