Efforts to further career cost Britney his job on Vegas Strip

LasVegasSun.com – By Jerry Fink

Britney Spears tribute artist Derrick Barry lost his job with the female impersonation revue “An Evening at La Cage” at the Riviera, but the 25-year-old entertainer sees the loss as an opportunity to further his career.

He’s in the running for one of the leads in “Auditing Richard Biggs,” a comedy that will be filmed in Louisiana next year, he says. He’s been contacted by a playwright in New York who is creating a musical legends revue for an international tour next year. “He wants me to close the show as Britney, a 10- or 15-minute set,” he says.
