He just rapped using sign language....I have reached a new level of admiration
-
Honestly, he could sign a phone book and I'd watch it.
-
Not to be dramatic but this is one of the best things I have ever seen
-
I love how he made Eliza have heart eyes when she saw Hamilton. That was really cute 😍
-
Not sure if Josh is reading this, but I love the name sign you chose for Alexander Hamilton and how you based it off Lin Manuel Miranda's interpretation of Hamilton's genius: making it look like his thoughts are exploding out of his head.

listen i am gay as the day is long but i would marry that man in a heartbeat
-
Even within Angelica's first line I was captured by this because he put so much emotion into the face. And just in that first line you could already see longing and envy and sadness in his eyes <3
-
his smile shines with the light of a thousand suns
-
I love how he made Angelica more vulnerable than Ive ever seen before through his facial expressions

Josh Castille is my spirit animal, inspiration, role model, and dream. Having almost the same level of hearing loss as me, Josh is able to perform with outstanding amount of talent. I was born 80% deaf in one ear, and 12% deaf in the other, so I know what's like to only hear small amounts like Josh. The fact that he made it on Broadway makes me so outrageously proud and happy for him. His dreams are coming true, and hopefully one day, so will mine.

I've seen some Hamilton asl covers and to me this is by far the best! I don't know the language, but the interpretation, energy and all those different characters are SO well done! Congratulations to this guy.
-
i have never cried during Satisfied until i watched this. Josh put so much emotion into the song and i saw the song from a new perspective, thank you for that Josh.

Goosebumps. Just goosebumps! Best performance of this song I've ever seen! PLEASE Deaf West, DO Hamilton as your next Broadway show!!! Lin Manuel Miranda HAS to see this!
-
He is BEAUTIFUL. I'm satisfied!
-
How not to fall in love with him?

I really cannot get over how well Josh conveys a massive slew of emotions with literally only his face, and occasionally signing style. In this one song, even only when he's playing Angelica, he perfectly conveys her deep sadness and regret covered by a somewhat performative joy for her sister, but also perfectly captures her short mocking/teasing tone at the "he's penniless he's flying by the seat of his pants" and "peach fuzz and he can't even grow it," along with all the combined emotions of Angelica realizing Eliza is completely smitten with Alex. Even her tiny aside to herself, "Nice going Angelica, you were right, you will never be satisfied" he drops the mask he had just had while introducing Alexander and Eliza. Truly every second, every line, every story beat is perfectly planned out and executed. Absolute mastery of the song and its characters.

Someone cast this man in a deaf production of Hamilton as Angelica
-
Everybody who loves this, Josh has his own YT channel at Joshua Castille. He does music videos there. Damn, he's good.
-
He is not just interpreting the lyrics he is also showing the hesitation behind them. BEYOND amazing!

That was amazing! Did I shed a tear? I did. I did shed a tear.
