Vanessa Hudgens makes funeral preparations after father’s death to cancer

Sunday night’s production of Grease: Live received mixed reviews, but one thing’s for sure – Vanessa Hudgens gave a stunning performance, just hours after sharing the heartbreaking news that she’d lost her father to cancer. But while Jordan Fisher stunned us with his rendition of “These Magic Changes” and Julianne Hough was Sandy, it was Vanessa Hudgens’ Rizzo that won the show.

Up next for FOX is a musical production of The Passion, which will air live from New Orleans in March.

The number is credited to Jordan Fisher, Aaron Tveit and the Grease Live Cast. And kudos to the live audience outside for bundling up and coming out regardless of the weather!

In August during an emotional speech at the 2015 Industry Dance Awards in Los Angeles, Hudgens first opened up about his father’s illness. I think your dad would want you to do this, ‘ and she said she knew that he would.

Marc spoke with Variety and praised her, “It was incredibly fearless of her. She’s a professional, but she’s also a human being and a daughter”. Her performance speaks for itself. Considering she put on the best performance of her career, it’s very clear that she made Greg proud as he looked on in spirit.

With the company of her boyfriend, Austin Butler, “Grease: Live” star Vanessa Hudgens found solace in a yoga class as she mourns the loss of her father, Greg.

“In loving memory of GREG HUDGENS”, it read.

GREASE: LIVE’S Keke Palmer was deeply moved by her co-star’s valiant efforts in Sunday night’s show, telling ET: “To see her grace – that’s the kind of thing that ended up bringing a lot of tears to our eyes”. Hollywood beauty Vanessa Hudgens played the role of Gabriella in the High School Musical movies and, while she has enjoyed relative success, she has not quite hit the heights that many expected.
