Cinderella

Somewhat relatedly … if we have a nit to pick, it’s that Gwen is relegated to being such a background player. In part because of the performance by Greive (“Millie Inbetween”) but mainly because of the qualities written into the character, she deserves her own subplot.

That said, we can’t complain about all the time spent with Cabello’s Ella. The singer — whose past includes singing in the musical group Fifth Harmony, formed on talent show “The X Factor” — appears to have a future on the screen if she wants it.

And although he doesn’t move the needle all that much, Galitzine (“The Beat Beneath My Feet,” “Chambers”) helps to convinces us Robert is worthy of our fine young woman.

Truthfully, all the notable players, from Menzel (“Rent,” “Frozen”) to Brosnan (“Mamma Mia!,” “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga”) contribute something worthwhile.

As for the music, it’s a big part of the fun. And while the original songs —

Cabello ballad “Million to One” and Menzel’s “Dream Girl,” which helps to flesh out her character — play their part, it’s more the clever treatments of covers that help to elevate “Cinderella.” The company’s opening fusion of Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation” and

Desirée’s “You Gotta Be,” the Menzel-led rendition of Madonna’s “Material Girl” and, especially, Galitzine’s choir-backed celebration of Queen’s “Somebody to Love” are high points.

Not quite pitch-perfect, this fresh spin on “Cinderella” casts quite a spell.
