Puma store managed to be a longest running show in London (9)

I believe the answer is:

mousetrap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be a longest running show in london' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'puma store managed' is the wordplay.
'managed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'puma'+'store'='pumastore'
'pumastore' with letters rearranged gives 'MOUSETRAP'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mousetrap that I've seen before include "Cheese-baited snare" , "This may take the Mickey" , "Poor cheese (colloq.)" , "Poor-quality cheese" , "Anti-rodent device" .)
