Just one day after her father passsed away to cancer, Vanessa Hudgens bravely went on with her starring role of Rizzo on FOX's GREASE: LIVE and gave one of the most memorable performances of the night.

Yesterday, the actress took to Instagram to thank her fans for all the support they have shown over the last few days. The 27-year-old captioned a photo of herself performing the number, "There Are Worst Things I Could Do' (at left):

I can't believe @gogrease is OVER! Grand opening and grand closing. Thank you to everyone who watched and supported me last night. Doing #greaselive was one of the most incredible experiences and I'm so glad you guys liked it as much as I did. Till next time Rizz... #pinkladyforlife

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."

GREASE: LIVE reintroduced and reimagined some of the show's most memorable moments, great music and timeless love story to an entirely new generation. In this live television adaptation of the musical classic, the beginning of senior year means the end of Danny and Sandy's summer romance - until Sandy unexpectedly transfers to Danny's high school. With their friends pulling them in different directions, it's up to Danny and Sandy to stay hopelessly devoted as they make their way from Rydell High to a new frontier.
