Narrative:
During descent prep; mem ATIS was calling for landings on rwy 36L; 36R and 27. We set the FMS up for ILS 27. We were flying the bluzz one RNAV arrival. We were instructed to abide by the altitude restrictions on the arrival. We descended to 10000 feet prior to bluzz for altitude restriction at copen as depicted for landing rwy 27. When handed off to mem approach we were told to expect rwy 36R; which changes the arrival altitude restrictions to 14000 feet at ltown. We queried ATC about the altitude and they told us not to worry about it. We were on course at all times. The crew should of asked mem center what runway to expect.

We were instructed to abide by the altitude restrictions on the arrival. We descended to 10000 feet prior to BLUZZ for altitude restriction at COPEN as depicted for landing rwy 27. When handed off to MEM APPROACH we were told to expect rwy 36R; which changes the arrival altitude restrictions to 14000 feet at LTOWN.
