It would be forgivable if, as an Angeleno, you've never actually sung in the rain. Passing up a chance to see Singin' in the Rain on 35mm, however, is a much more serious offense. While it's true that musicals aren't for everybody (including, for what it's worth, this writer), Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen's is an all-timer that transcends genre and demands to be seen on the big screen. If said screen happens to be part of a historic movie theater that's as much a Hollywood institution as the film itself, all the better.
