Just can't get enough of Chicago? Well, you're in luck --
Coming Soon! and Variety are reporting that Mirimax will give Chicago another send off theatrically to promote the DVD release. Only this time it will be a new cut with one more musical sequence, which will also appear on the DVD (presumably the previously deleted "Class," which also appears on the soundtrack.)

Variety talks about a possible re-release for the award-winning film and the upcoming DVD:
Miramax, which earlier this year said it would re-release "Confessions of a Dangerous Minds" in August, now plans to return Oscar best pic "Chicago" to theaters in July.
In both cases, theatrical re-releases will serve to hype a release of the pic in homevid the next month.
The "Chicago" run will feature a new version of the movie that includes an additional song-and-dance number cut from the original theatrical release. Homevid version of the awards-laden musical, which hits retail shelves Aug. 19, also will feature the additional scene.
Miramax refused to confirm any of the re-release plans. But a well-placed source said distrib was close to locking in on a July 18 slotting for the re-release.
