On link it says Bri+Rog+WWRY-cast rehearsed for more than 11 (!) hours yesterday. Just think how bad it must have sounded in the beginning... :-) Or maybe they plan to conquer the show and play like... two hours? It also says that most other musicians tend to rehearse for about ten minutes usually. And that the show had rarely seen anything that loud before.
You can also see some pictures there.

The reason why most musicians only rehearse for ten minutes is that they all lip-synch.
The Queen-set was fully live (an absolute exception) and I'm pretty sure that most of those 11 hours were taken up by soundcheck (it's quite a large cast, after all) with breaks in between. They also had to rehearse all the camera cues. Looking at the result and the number of people involved, 11 hours seems pretty normal.
