Photo Exclusive! Soul Doctor’s Amber Iman on Bringing Nina Simone to Life in Fabulous Frocks

Amber Iman, who makes a remarkable Broadway debut as Nina Simone in the new Broadway musical Soul Doctor, rocks nearly a dozen killer outfits in the show. Designer Maggie Morgan based some of Iman's costumes on the jazz singer’s real-life looks and designed others specifically for the show. In this exclusive gallery, Iman shares photos of herself in eight eye-popping Soul Doctor costumes, with comments about why each one is special to her. (The actress asked that we give a special shout-out to wig designer Charles La Pointe and dresser Tracey K. Diebold "for keeping me clothed, sane, hydrated and happy.")
