To be honest, the shadows aren't bothering me at all, I'd probably just leave them. But if you really want to get rid of them, it probably is going to take a lot of cloning efforts. No quick fixes because you want to keep the tonal range you have for everything else but get rid of the tonal differences on the walls. If this image is meant to be printed, and not just shown on screen, then that'll require meticulous editing around the edges.

| how come it makes a difference, when it needs to be printed? |

I'm just saying that size matters. If you're printing the image (big), then every little fault will show. But at the sizes used for display on the internet, you could get away with minimal editing and few people will ever notice any defects.
I'd still say... leave the shadows alone. They aren't distracting.

I agree, just leave them. the quick fix would be not to use bare bulb flash, you needed to difuse it if you didn't like the shadow.

Take a soft brush and use the stamp tool to blend in the edges of the shadow so that they don't look like shadows but more like natural shading on the wall that way you don't even have to worry about cloning around the edges of the subjects. Shouldn't take but a few minutes if that.
ETA: Changing the stamp tool's "mode" at the top to lighten or darken can help make the blending easier if you do have to work along edges you want to keep.
