Difference between the expressions

Hi teachers.

I would like to know the difference between the sentences below.

The play wasn’t up to our https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/expectation.

The play didn't come up to our https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/expectation.

The play didn't live up to our https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/expectation.

The play didn't measure up to our https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/expectation.

I have already looked them up in dictionaries but haven't figured out the difference.

Thanks in advance.
