Vanessa Hudgens, “Rizzo” in Grease: Live, stayed true to the old saying “the show must go on.”

Hudgens learned a day before the major live broadcast performance that her father had passed away from stage four cancer.

Via her twitter account (@VanessaHudgens) she posted “Tonight, I do the show in his honor.”

Of course during the live broadcast, Hudgens received a ton of accolades and condolences from fans and even some celebrity viewers.

Her father Greg Hudgens received a special dedication at the end of the production as well.
