Woke madness as Back To The Future musical hit with weird trigger warning about Doc Brown's DeLorean
Bosses warn the time-travel motor's flaming tracks could startle or alarm audiences.
It is one of 16 snowflake alerts on the stage version of Michael J Fox's 1985 hit film.
Bosses at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End warn the DeLorean 'leaves behind fire tracks that are alight' as it travels back to 1955.
It also cautions 'there is a pyrotechnic spark' as it exits the stage.
In another scene featuring the car, audiences are told inventor Doc Brown is 'sprayed loudly and powerfully' by CO2 jets.
Elsewhere, for the cast's performance of Chuck Berry song Johnny B.
Goode, bosses warn 'disco lights' are hoisted above the stage.
There is also guidance about a 'special effect scene' at the end as the car lets out a 'loud rumbling sound effect.'
The theatre's website adds: 'Back to the Future contains loud sounds, strobe lights, haze, fire and pyrotechnics at certain points during the performance.'
Senior Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke said: 'I am stunned by how ludicrous this trigger warning is.'
We previously reported stage versions of the Full Monty and Roald Dahl's Matilda had been slapped with similar warnings.
LW Theatres, which owns the Adelphi, was asked to comment.

Oasis' future after their string of reunion gigs end 'revealed' as Gallagher brothers are flooded with performance opportunities
It's been just over one month since Oasis kicked off their huge reunion tour. And according to reports the brothers have since been hit with huge offers to extend their comeback to next year, including four massive shows at Knebworth House. The gigs would mark the 30th anniversary of the Britpop legends' 1996 history-making concerts and would see Noel and Liam Gallagher top Robbie Williams ' record of three nights at the Hertfordshire venue. Rumours have also swirled about a potential residency at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, with fan forums buzzing and fake posters doing the rounds online. However, those close to the band insist no deals have been signed and there are no concrete plans for 2026. A source told The Sun: 'They've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want.' They added that the reunion has become 'a cultural movement' and the brothers must now decide whether to close the book on their epic comeback or keep the magic alive. They said: 'It's ultimately up for them to decide. The Oasis reunion hasn't just been concerts. You can see that it's been a cultural movement. Nothing comes close in recent history to Oasis's shows. 'It's a question of whether Noel and Liam want to draw a line in the sand and close the door on this chapter, knowing they captured the zeitgeist. Or do they strike it up again and keep the magic going? It's a difficult decision to make.' The Daily Mail has contacted Oasis representatives for comment. It comes after Liam launched a scathing attack on Edinburgh Fringe - the world's biggest performing arts festival - claiming it is a celebration of 'thick s***'. The 52-year-old rock star tore into the event during his band's opening show at Murrayfield Stadium. He told 70,000 fans the city's arts festival bonanza just involved people 'juggling f***ing b******s... swallowing swords' and 's****y card tricks'. Moments after stepping out on stage Friday's gig, Liam Gallagher said: 'What about Edinburgh council, the f***ing slags. It comes after Liam launched a scathing attack on Edinburgh Fringe - the world's biggest performing arts festival - claiming it is a celebration of 'thick s***' 'The amount of money we're going to bring in, they'll split with their posh, ugly mates. Still waiting for a f***ing apology.' After a brief pause, he then rounded on the Fringe festival, saying: 'What's happening in Edinburgh then? What's all that thick s***? 'People juggling f***ing b******s and that? Swallowing swords... one-legged bicycles. What's all that s*** about? S****y card tricks?' His comments came after bosses at Edinburgh council branded the band's fans as drunk, fat and middle-aged and could deter performers away from attending this month's Fringe festival.
