Visual Reference to Evita in Wicked

I was reading a book for my Musical Theatre History class, and have a question about it.

"Wicked epitomizes to a certain degree the kind of crowd-pleasing musical theatre that has dominated Broadway since the "British invasion" of the 1980s: a combination of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "poperettas" (it even makes direct visual reference to Evita),"

What is the visual reference to Evita in Wicked???
