*** Recommended *** Robert Falls has assembled a stellar cast for the Goodman Theatre’s production of "The Cherry Orchard".  Although the story is about the Russian aristocracy in denial, Chekhov said it was a comedy (although I’ve always thought the story was tragic), so this cast played it for laughs and they got them.  I thought everything – costumes, set, et al – was just about perfect, but I’m still not a Chekhov fan.  By the way, is the term ‘Russian comedy’ actually an oxymoron?  3 ½ Spotlights
