Probably not the set, becuz it looked to me like it had already been scaled for a B'way theatre in mind.
Book revisions? Sounded tight enough when I saw the show last month, unless the plan is to rework the entire plot.
Score? More hummable music might be in order. I can't recall one melody in my head.
Ideas? Rumors?

How would we know?

A lot of things will probably be tweaked.

I have a question. What genre of musical was IN THE HEIGHTS. Someone somewhere mentioned rap? Just curious . . .

On a related note, very rarely do I ever leave a theatre humming a song. I think there's just too many of them. A good Disney movie musical--I hum those--but even great shows with great scores--HELLO, DOLLY!, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, KISS ME, KATE . . . I just remember the moments but not the songs themselves.

"How would we know?"

I thought that perhaps the "we" you refer to might be someone involved with the production who might "know".

That's "how".
