If you like juggling, do reed 3 in West Side Story! That's flute, piccolo, oboe, cor, Bb and bass clarinet, tenor and bari sax.
I did Oliver a while back (oboe and cor only) so that wasn't a problem, but as and when you have enough bars rest or during the dialogue bits, moisten the reeds during these. And write on your part 'moisten cor reed NOW' so it'll be playable by the time you need it to be.
As for stands, use heavy stands for all instruments so the chances are of them getting knocked over are slight. But arrange them in a way that they're within easy reach for changeovers and that they're not arranged in such a way that you might clip the reed when setting down/picking up. So in a line in front of you usually works, though the cor will have to go towards your left or right so it's not going to get the reed mashed on the music stand.
