It takes seven minutes on average for someone to decide if they love a person. He spent six years getting to seven minutes. Seven Minutes is a contemporary romantic musical structured around the seven-minute rule — the psychological research suggesting that first impressions are formed in the first seven minutes of a meeting. The musical follows Nora, 28, who meets Leo under seven different circumstances across six years — always for exactly seven minutes (a coincidence that becomes increasingly preposterous and increasingly dear). Each of the seven meetings is its own musical sequence, with the songs showing who Nora and Leo are in that specific moment of their lives. The accumulation of seven seven-minute meetings builds a portrait of two people across six years without any of the ordinary relationship development — each meeting complete in itself, each one slightly different because they are both slightly different. The musical's structural conceit is its greatest formal achievement and its romantic argument: that love is not a single decision but an accumulation of decisions that feel like one. Runtime: 2h 10min. Seven Meetings Meeting 1 (age 22/24): A coffee shop. Nora spills. Leo helps. Both late. Seven minutes. Meeting 3 (age 24/26): A bookshop. Same section. No reason. Seven minutes. Meeting 5 (age 26/28): A hospital waiting room. Neither will explain why they're there. Seven minutes. Meeting 7 (age 28/30): A theatre lobby. Neither late. Neither leaving. The musical's finale runs seven minutes precisely.
