Milan Diekman - Michael

Post by ERinVA »

According to this post that popped up in my feed, Milan Diekman, one of the new Michaels, is from Los Angeles, but I don't think it means L.A. Can anyone from the Netherlands clarify this for us?

DIEMEN - A role in the musical Billy Elliot, an important role still. Many children will dream of Milan Diekman (12) from Los Angeles is going to do it. Sunday, July 12 he is after years of hard rehearsing and training, for the first time as Billy's best friend Michael on stage at the Circus Theatre in Scheveningen.

I was able to translate it in a Chrome browser, by loading the article, right clicking (which opens a drop down panel) and selecting 'Translate to English'. The translation is pretty good, too.

1) Load this link in Chrome:

2) Right click mouse or pad (with cursor over article)

3) From the box that opens, click 'Translate to English'.

My translator worked just fine. I just meant that I could not then copy the English text to paste into my post.

Great! It is a fantastic interview. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

I hope it was useful to provide a means for all, not conversant in English, to read it.

As I gather from the original article, he is from a city called Diemen, which is near Amsterdam. God knows why your translator turned it into Los Angeles :lol:
Though maybe, it will now become a showbiz city, with Milan as its first star ;)
