because when kristin did it her galinda had long straight hair... and curly in the beginning... now all the glindas have curly hair for the opening and for the "shiz days"

Because puppies will die if you don't cut off a bunch of those 'y's.

probably b/c its cheaper...and a lot of times they design wigs based on the person.. and kristin was a lot older... im not exactly sure of the exact reason

its about saving money and time basically the change was implemented when the tour went out. the following is my theory as to why the shiz costume changed;

the tour stops don't always have a convenient spot stage left for a quick change. The old costume involved a full change of the dress and wig, The new one involves as far as i can gather pulling the tiara out of the wig, taking off the gown (the new poofy white skirt is most likely under the gown) and the only real "change" is to bup on the beret and white top.
