We have a winner! Sheepshead Bites reader Melis B. took home the prize to this week’s giveaway for Frankie Valli tickets at the Kings Theatre this Saturday.

Originally from Turkey, Melis said she is a big fan of Sheepshead Bay’s wonderful Turkish restaurants. She is “very excited about seeing Frankie Valli.”

“‘Can’t take my eyes off you’ is one of my favorite songs ever. I saw Jersey Boys on Broadway, but I have not seen him live on stage before. Also I’ve been reading about the renovations at King’s Theatre,” Melis told us after being informed of her big win.

Melis was referring to the massive $95 million renovation of the jazz era theater, bringing it back to its gilded beauty after being shuttered for 38 years. It reopened this February.

“We are very excited to see the final product and experience the magic!” said Melis.

There are still tickets available for the March 21 Frankie Valli performance, and, for all the other giveaway’s entrants: better luck next time!
