#1Hamilton - View From Box Seats?

Hi all.
Apologies - I know there's been a ton of posts about views at the Richard Rodgers for HAMILTON, but I've scoured the message boards and have not been able to find an answer to my question.
I have an opportunity to get tickets for the dates that I happen to be in NYC visiting family - they are pricey (of course), but they are in Box H1, right side of the stage. I have called the box office and they've told me that there is an obstructed view of part of the far right side of the stage.
The Box H1 seats are apparently the second box toward the back of the theater, on the same level as the Mez -- they seem to be right in front of the first row of the Front Mezz seats. But my concern from looking at pictures online is that it seems that the box that is just forward of Box H1 (I think it's Box B?) seems to jut out and significantly obstruct the view of the stage. Seems like the angle to the stage in not the issue, but the other box seat is. This is the pic that's causing my distress:

So, after all that preamble ... is there any other Hamilton fanatic that has seen the show from one of the rear upper Box seats that can tell me if the view decent or worth the money?
Please help! Thank you!

The picture you are looking at on that site is not of the Richard Rodgers. It is of the Belasco. I wouldn't base anything off that picture.

Ugh, I'm a moron. Thanks for letting me know that. That's a big help. Can't trust the Internet, I guess.
Still would love to hear from any folks with experience in seating in one of the rear upper boxes!

There is a lengthy thread about this on here already with photos. Most thoughts are positive since it is the only way to get into the show. I did not like the view from the boxes as I passed thru them.
