      @I Ain't counting no ways2 I humbly disagree with that and that's ok! Some Broadway shows that are based off of fictional stories don't really teach you much but historical Broadway's such as Hamilton, Six, and The Great Comet of 1812 do actually teach important facts of history. Like for example, Hamilton teaches about the American Revolution, Six teaches about the six wives of Henry the eighth, and The Great Comet of1812 teaches about the Russian war of 1812 and all three are quite fascinating.

      The man with him in this skit is probably Hephaestion since he's more well-known in history and literature, and he was also Alexander's greatest companion.
      Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he was gay. He was Greek, and the ancient Greeks didn't condemn homosexuality.
