Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? If the question incites a visceral reaction, you were probably one of the millions of fans bitten by the Twilight bug in the aughts. What started as a fantasy-romance series by author Stephenie Meyer bloomed into one of the fiercest fandoms of the era. The phenomenon hit its apex when the film adaptations were released from 2008 to 2012.

Leads Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, two-thirds of the films' bizarre love triangle, have gone on to build acclaimed acting careers, while Taylor Lautner has been seen flipping in Taylor Swift's music videos and concert stages over the past year, which isn't so bad either.

But while its actors have moved on, the films have persisted in the hearts and minds of fans, who now have a new opportunity to experience the story in yet another way.

Much like this week's La La Land in Concert concept, Twilight in Concert, coming to the Adrienne Arsht Center Sunday, October 19, and West Palm Beach's Kravis Center the night before, on Saturday, October 18, features a screening of the film with live musical accompaniment. A 12-piece band of rock and orchestral musicians, surrounded by 1,000 candles on stage, will perform the film score in sync with the movie.

Tickets for the live concert experience go on sale this week. Arsht Center members will have access to the presale on Thursday, April 10, and the general on-sale is on Friday, April 11. If the West Palm date is more convenient, donors already have access to tickets today. The general on-sale will take place online starting Friday at 10 a.m., or you can call the venue's box office starting that same day at noon.

VIP packages are available at both venues. They include commemorative swag and perks, such as a Twilight in Concert VIP laminate and matching lanyard, VIP merchandise bundles, and priority access to the merch stand.

Twilight in Concert. 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 18, at the Kravis Center, 701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach; 561-832-7469; kravis.org. Tickets start at $39.50. 7 p.m. Sunday, October 19, at the Adrienne Arsht Center, 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-468-2000; arshtcenter.org. Tickets cost $45 to $130.
