Local politicians who are adept at maneuvering on the political stage will try their hand at a different kind of drama this weekend: Elected officials and community leaders from Queens are getting set to sing and dance their hearts out in the musical revue “Absolutely Queens!”

More than 30 leaders are participating in this year’s variety show, which tweaks both politics and pop culture (while poking a little fun at its actors, too).The revue includes performances by councilmen Dennis Gallagher and Eric Gioia as Starsky and Hutch. Speaker Gifford Miller and Council Member Melinda Katz will perform solo acts.

Assemblyman Mark Weprin, who has lent his talents to several of the past performances, said that this year he’ll be parodying the Nathan Lane role in “The Producers.”

“They have me talking about Albany,” he explained. “Albany used to be the king and has been suffering from some image problems. In my number I offer up some solutions.”

Among the other stars are Rep. Joseph Crowley, Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum, state Comptroller Alan Hevesi, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, the Queens borough president, Helen Marshall, and Council Member Peter Vallone Jr.

As the politicians dance their way into constituents’ hearts, they will also raise money for the Queens Theatre in the Park. The theater provides a variety of music performances, family events, and theater programs for Queens residents.

Since both Republicans and Democrats take to the stage together, the event also serves as a chance for dyed-in-the-wool partisans to reach across the aisle. Mr. Weprin, a Democrat, reports that his participation in the last revue connected him for the first time with state Senator Serphin Maltese, a conservative Republican who is also performing in this year’s show. “I had very few dealings with him until we were in the Legislative Revue together,” he said. “We became fast friends and ever since then, we’ve worked together more.”

Though the revue has fostered cross-party friendships and benefits a good cause, Mr. Weprin concedes that not many of the performers are ready for the big time.

“There are some of us that have to make up for a lack of talent with enthusiasm,” he said with a laugh.

As for the audience, “They know they’re not coming to a Broadway production.”

Saturday, 7:30 p.m. champagne reception, 8:15 performance, dessert to follow, Queens Theatre in the Park, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, 718-760-0686 ext. 126, $175.
