I think the key change may be an artistic choice? Like The Winner Takes it All and Slipping Through My Fingers from Mamma Mia! The Winner Takes it All was always written in F major in the score, but in the cast Album it was performed in the key of G flat major (same as with the original recording). Slipping Through My Fingers on the hand, has two versions in the offcial score: One in F major (The OG) and in D major. Some productions opt for the D one
In my expirience choices surrounding keys usually just have to do with where a song sits most comfortblly in a performers voice. For example with this song, "Heaven help my heart" the original published key of D major heard on the recording could have been very comfortable to perform in , however when performing it in its original London run eight times a week for months if not years on end when combined with all of the other material needing to be performed it may have been easier to perform in Db major to preserve vocal stamina for the full and future performances.

The changing of musical keys is one of those mysteries about Chess that boggle the mind.
There are a lot of things in this musical that both fascinate and confuse me. It's an amazing score, but the plot gets overly complicated.
