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?

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

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.
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
Though maybe, it will now become a showbiz city, with Milan as its first star
