The Marx Brothers could be found at places other than the circus, but "At the Circus" (1939) was one of the movies that just these three (without brother Zeppo) appeared in.

Answer: On the baseball diamond

OK, this time I was a bit cruel, as these are the first names of the Chicago Cubs double play combination Tinker, Evers and Chance.

Answer: Entertaining the troops

The Andrews Sisters (and they really were sisters) came from Minnesota, and spent a lot of time during World War II entertaining the US troops with songs like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree".

(Note: Though Bing, Bob and Dorothy may also have entertained the troops, the Andrews Sisters were not known for being on the road to exotic places.)
