So what is it about The Great Zucchini that makes him the #1 children's performer in the DC Metro area? In search of answers I sat down with "The Great One" (my new name for him). Even after an hour long meeting and a 30 minute show for my daughter's preschool class, I still found it difficult to describe the exact lure of this one man wonder. I will leave it to the French; he has that certain "je ne sais quoi", that certain something that is hard to illustrate or explain.
At first blush, it is easy to say "I don't get it". Surely anyone meeting Eric Knaus for the first time would assume he is off to meet his buddies for a drink rather than heading to yet another $300 performance for children. And there it is, the big surprise. Don't let the scruffy façade fool you. When he gets in front of an audience there isn't a child in the room that wouldn't give up a gallon of ice cream and a new bike to stay and watch The Great Zucchini perform. Well that might be a bit much but you get the drift.
